Great Divide

(Curly Putman)



I guess we've walked a million miles

Together hand in hand

We'd climb steep Rocky Mountains

A happy woman, a happy man.



We'd thought our love would go on

Forever side by side

But here we stand like strangers

At the great divide.



We've loved our way to the top of life

The rest was all down hill

The rough times seem behind us

And our dreams were all fulfilled.



But we found out sometimes love grows old

And I think our love just died

But here we stand like strangers

At the great divide.



Now you'll take a high road

I will take the low

But who'll take the baby

'Cause we both love her so?



Divorce is not the answer now

But we've got too much pride

So here we stand like strangers

At the great divide.



So here we stand like strangers

At the great divide...
