AI still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining
AOur 60 Cadillac was roaring through Nebraska whining
DDoing 120 man the fields was bending over
AHeading out for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
EAll the fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning turning
AHad my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning burning
AUp walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
AShe had a line on something heavy but we couldn't reach her
DWe told her that we needed something that would get us going
AShe pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing
EAll I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
AThe cops came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck
AGo! Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
AGet out of Denver, better, Dgo
DGet out of Denver, better, Ago, go
AGet out of Denver Ecause you look just like a commie
EAnd you might just be a member
EBetter Aget out of Denver
ABetter get out of Denver
DWell, red lights were flashing and the sirens were a-screaming screaming
AWe had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
DMade it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
ELord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

AThe rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber
AWe kept on driving till we ran into some fog cover
DWe couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
AWe kept on driving all night long and then into the morning fog
EIt finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
AWe're staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat
AGo! Get out of Denver, better, go
AGet out of Denver, better, Dgo, go

I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining

Our 60 Cadillac was roaring through Nebraska whining

Doing 120 man the fields was bending over

Heading out for the mountains knowing we was traveling further

All the fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning turning

Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning burning

Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher

She had a line on something heavy but we couldn't reach her

We told her that we needed something that would get us going

She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing

All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up

The cops came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck

Go! Get out of Denver, baby, go, go

A D

Get out of Denver, better, go

D A

Get out of Denver, better, go, go

A E

Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie

And you might just be a member

E A

Better get out of Denver

Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens were a-screaming screaming

We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming

Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour

Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower
