It was plain to see she didn't know how to ski

She said "We don't get much show in Tampa Bay"

She said, "I got confused, ended up on the blues

I was hopin' someone like you would come my way

I said, "Let's sit here and enjoy the view

Let you catch your breath for a minute or two"



The air is thin in Jackson Hole

When the sun goes down, it's bitter cold

Unless you can charm somebody into keepin' you warm

Find a hole in the wall with a cover band

Baileys and beer, yeah you laugh and dance

And you sing along to every song

And fall like the snow in Jackson Hole



Spent a couple of nights drownin' in her eyes

Gettin' lost between those tan lines from the coast

All the words we said, all the promises

I was sure she'd never let me go

But your heart can play tricks on your mind

When you're makin' love at the timber line



The air is thin in Jackson Hole

When the sun goes down, it's bitter cold

Unless you can charm somebody into keepin' you warm

Find a hole in the wall with a cover band

Baileys and beer, yeah you laugh and dance

And you sing along to every song

And fall like the snow in Jackson Hole



She had to leave on Sunday, she almost missed her airplane

We kissed goodbye, I said I'll call you first thing in the mornin'

When I woke up on Monday, I dialed the number she gave

That old man answered, said "Son, no one lives here by that name"



The air is thin in Jackson Hole

When the sun goes down, it's bitter cold

Unless you can charm somebody into keepin' you warm

Find a hole in the wall with a cover band

Baileys and beer, yeah you laugh and dance

And you sing along to every song

That's how hearts get broke in Jackson Hole, in Jackson Hole
