Story Behind The Song

A feeling every woman knows --not getting enough attention from the man she loves

Song Description

She's lying in bed next to him but there is a space as wide as a canyon between them, so she's leaving

Lyrics

King-size Canyon, Queen-size Bed
© Chapman


There's a gulf the size of Texas
between us in this old bed
I reach across to touch you
but you don't even move your head
Can't stand being next to you
when you're a thousand miles away
Your body's warm but you're cool to me
and it hurts too much to stay

Oh there's a king-size canyon
in our queen size bed
Can't get through to you, I'm through with you
No kind of life ahead
Lying here is getting old and your shoulder's cold
so I'll be looking for a man with a king-size heart
to warm my queen-size bed

Here in the Great Smokies
pink mimosas are in bloom
the flowers are gently flirting
with the rising moon
It's a night for romance but I guess
your heart went out the door
you're lying here beside me
but I can't find you any more.

Don't know what went wrong with
the sweetness that used to be
this sleeping with the ghost of you
will be the death of me

Oh there's a king-size canyon
in our queen size bed
Can't get through to you, I'm through with you
No kind of life ahead
Lying here is getting old and your shoulder's cold
so I'll be looking for a man with a king-size heart
to warm my queen-size bed
