This may be it. I can't recall if it is in the old "Rosin the Beau" thread from last fall. It belongs to that family.

DENVER
(words by Randy Sparks; tune "Rosin The Beau)

I was driving a rig out of Texas,
Full loaded and bound for Cheyenne,
Taking my pleasure so freely,
Just a good loving rambling man.
I had quite a way with the ladies,
Sweet daddy was my middle name,
Til I got to a place they call Denver
And I ain't never been quite the same.

I've been to St. Louie and Abilene,
I rambled through many a town.
But I got me a woman in Denver,
Lord, that's where I'm settling down.

Well I kissed her and swore that I loved her,
I told her some day she'd be mine,
Then I laughed all the way back to Texas
(Ha Ha) To think she'd believe that old line.
Well I got to pinin' for Denver,
It's funny how things come to be.
And as I slipped a ring on her finger,
Well, I knew that the laugh was on me.

I've been to St. Louie and Abilene,
I rambled through many a town.
But I got me a woman in Denver,
Lord, that's where I'm settling down.

Now all you young fellers take warning,
You single men run for your life.
Be careful and stay our of Denver,
Or else you'll end up with a wife.
You'll walk dow the street unsuspecting,
And you won't believe what you see.
Cause the prettiest gals live in Denver,
Lord, you'll end up happy like me.

I've been to St. Louie and Abilene,
I rambled through many a town.
But I got me a woman in Denver,
Lord, that's where I'm settling down.
