What a Way To Go

from Bad Hay - the home recordings by Jared Rogerson

	/

lyrics

I passed up good water and I don't know why/ So I learned what I already knew/ On a shortcut to Paradise through White Rock Mountain/ I wish you could've seen it, too

(Chorus)
The sky was bright fiery red with The Grand silhouette/ Like nothin' that I'd ever known/ At 12,000 feet on Lost Eagle Peak/ What a way to go

You climb up so high 'till you can't remember any/ Of your troubles or your trials or your fears/ Then just one little oversight can cost you your life/ You know it's just the way it goes up here

(Chorus)
The sky was bright fiery red with The Grand silhouette/ Like nothin' that I'd ever known/ At 12,000 feet on Lost Eagle Peak/ What a way to go

(Bridge)
Sometimes the view is so beautiful/ That it wasn't meant for human eyes to see/ Now I can never go back, at least I got to see that/ You know it all was worth it to me

(Chorus)
The sky was bright fiery red with The Grand silhouette/ Like nothin' that I'd ever known/ At 12,000 feet on Lost Eagle Peak/ What a way to go

I died at 12,000 feet on Lost Eagle Peak, but what a way to go
