Five Doors Down in Leadville 

You left that day from Leadville

With a backpack and a map

And swore you won’t be

Comin’ round again no more

It was a cold day in September

I put a note into your bag

That said I love you,

Wish I’d done a little more

To keep you near and hold 

Your fears at bay

But I knew you wouldn’t stay

I just hope you keep

Your head out of the rain

I know you won’t look back

I can’t blame you none for that

Can we just go back to the way

Things were before 

CHORUS

You remember,

I’m five doors down in Leadville

When you’re a million miles away

I said please remember

Five doors down in Leadville

And my light is on for you to find your way

Only known the western sky

You were lost with all the light

No more stars to lead you safe 

Back to your bed

It’s a different kind of cold

With all the steel and iron roads

The way the sun shines through

A pane of tempered glass

Back to the rust and the dust

When the flakes began to fall

Only fourteen months 

Without San Isabel

Little house on Hazel Street

Hardwood floor under your feet

The smell of coal over by 

The railroad yard
