Written by francis lai and hal sharper Released as a us single in 1970 Issued on "the games" soundtrack If i say goodbye it'll grieve you Denver means the whole world to you Girl it breaks me up just to leave you But i got things that i gotta do Got to take my guitar With one break i'm a star Girl i'll love you forever more But today i've got to make my way From denver to l.a. Girl i know that you'll make me stay But today i've got to make my way From denver to l.a. There's a whole new life to be led there That's the place that i gotta be Guys are making mountains of bread there Reckon it could happen to me Lots of guys make the grade Just one break and i may And i'll bring it on home
