Sarah In The Summer

Sarah In The Summer - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I've driven this road as a stranger

I've driven this road as a friend

I've driven this road as a slack jawed tourist

And I'm drivingon it once again

It might be cold and long and lonely

But she's waiting on the other side

And I'm an hour closer

To Sarah in the summer

And joyfully I ride

Joyfully I ride

And I climb through georgetown

Silver plume

The tunnel at lovelands cove

The lake on the left is a little low

Route 9 is the breckenridge road

There's a sign right below copper mountain

Telling wheter independence runs free

And I'm an hour closer

To Sarah in the summer

And that's where I wanna be

That's where I wanna be

In the evening shadow of red butte

Up the lane

From the slaughter house bridge

The first cabin the moonlight strikes

As it crests the cleft in hunter crick ridge

Up from between old red and smuggler

Rising high on a piano bench there

And I'm an hour closer

To Sarah in the summer

And what lies between beware

What lies between beware

Oh and the red sandstone sentinels

Rising high on either side

As I follow the eagle valley

Through the canyon

Where the saints reside

In my snowmass majesty south

And east out of glennwood springs

And I'm an hour closer

To Sarah in the summer

Where the roaring river sings

Where the roaring river sings

I've driven this road as a stranger

I've driven this road as a friend

I've driven this road as a slack jawed tourist

And I'm driving on it once again

It might be cold and long and lonely

But she's waiting on the other side

And I'm an hour closer

To Sarah in the summer

And joyfully I ride

Joyfully I ride

Joyfully I ride
