[Verse 1]
I was traveling west along the Colorado
Where that river turns mountains into canyon walls
In a place you can't cross that water at all
For miles and miles
[Verse 2]
High above the trees
I heard wing beats on the breeze
And I saw a side I'd never seen before
In the bluest sky
[Pre-Chorus]
I watched an eagle dive
For at least a mile
In a free and wild fall
[Chorus]
What a great life to lead
Imagine flying free
All along that river, Colorado
[Verse 3]
I slept there for the night
As the sun went down
Listened to the music of the river sound
In the canyon
[Verse 4]
Last winter's snows are flowing down to Mexico
Where the clouds will rise up
And the wind will blow
To water north again
[Pre-Chorus]
Where the eagle dives
For at least a mile
In a free and wild fall
[Chorus]
What a great life to lead
Imagine flying free
All along that river, Colorado
[Outro]
What a great life to lead
Imagine flying free
All along that river
All along that river, Colorado
