I always heard about the great AtlanticHow it humbles you to stand upon it's shoreSo I thought I'd take some time to go and see itSince I had no ties upon me anymoreBut I don't know what I'd wasted my time forYou call that an ocean?To me it's just a pond that's almost dryIf you want to see an oceanYou should see the tears her leaving made me crySo I headed west to see that famous canyonThat the Colorado cut so deep and wideI thought seeing something lower down than I feltMight cheer me up and ease my troubled mindBut I just got disappointed one more timeYou call that a canyon?It's nothing but a pothole in the yardIf you want to see a canyonYou should see the hole she left here in my heartSo now I stand here staring at the RockiesI've heard they reach right up to heaven's doorThey're like that little hole and that blue puddleAnd I see now what I should have seen beforeSongtexteWithout her life holds no wonders anymoreYou call that a mountain?It's just a little pile of rocks and dirtIf you want to see a mountainYou ought to try getting over herYou call that a mountain Aus Songtexte Mania
