Living close to the Colorado mountains there is a special place I like to hike when I've had a bad day. Nothing like a great view and the wind in your hair to set things right again.

Lyrics
I lost my job, the car won't start and the bills they're overdue. I ripped my silk dress, I can't find my keys, and the dog ate my favorite shoes. So when I'm frazzeled to a T, there's only one place for me where I can breathe in the air and try to escape my reality.
Up on the lookout mmm...
Up on the lookout mmm...
So I'm hiking up to the lookout the smell of pine's in the air. I'm walking through all the wildflowers blomming everywhere. In shades of purples and blues, and reds in the brightest hues. And as I climb to the top of the peak I take in the beautiful view.
Up on the lookout mmm...
Up on the lookout mmm...
There's something about being so high surrounded by mountains and sky. And as I lay on the rocks with the sun on my back I'm watching the clouds roll by. You know I feel so peaceful and new when surrounded by skies so blue, And as I climb to the top of the peak I take in the beautiful view.
Up on the lookout mmm...
Up on the lookout mmm...
Up on the lookout all day yeah, day yeah, and I'm chasing the blues, chasing the blues away...
