Aspen, Colorado

I was born into, a simple life

It didn't take much to satisfy me

Then there came a time when I knew

I had to leave

Tried to get a job in Alabama

But the man said he didn't need no one today

I made my way down to Memphis

And I stayed a few days

Got a letter from my mama

She said "Boy, won't you try to come on home?"

And daddy said "We'd give you all the land,

For your own, please, come on home"

But there comes a time in everybody's life

When you have to search for peace in mind

I might go to Aspen, Colorado

Spend some time

I hear that it's fine

Ohh, when the leaves fall and start turning

And one fall softly to the ground

I have thoughts of other places

Some new towns

To be found
