Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way




"Rocky Mountain Way" is a 1973 song by rock guitarist Joe Walsh and his band Barnstorm, with writing credits given to Walsh, Rocke Grace, Kenny Passarelli, and Joe Vitale. The song was originally released on the album The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get.


Walsh played the song frequently while on tour with the Eagles, including the 1977 Hotel California Tour, again in 1979 and later into the first half of 1980's Long Run tour, also being added yet again to the set in the 1994 reunion tour with Eagles.





Lyrics


Spent the last year

Rocky Mountain way

Couldn't get much higher

Out to pasture

Think it's safe to say

Time to open fire


And we don't need the ladies

Cryin' 'cause the story's sad

'Cause the Rocky Mountain way

Is better than the way we had

Whoa-oh-oh


Well, he's tellin' us this

And he's tellin' us that

Changes it ev'ry day

Says it doesn't matter

Bases are loaded

And Casey's at bat

Playin' it play-by-play

Time to change the batter


And we don't need the ladies

Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, uh huh

Rocky Mountain way

Is better than the way we had

Yeah-ah-ah.
