Aspen Colorado Lyrics

I was born into a simple life
Didn't take much to satisfy me
Then there came a time in autumn
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 stayed a few days

Got a letter from my Momma
She said "Boy won't you try to come home
Your Daddy said he'd give you all the land
[ Tony Joe White Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
For your own, come on home"

But there comes a time in everybody's life
When you have to search for peace of mind
I might go to Aspen, Colorado
And spend some time I hear it's fine

When the leaves of autumn start to turnin'
And one falls softly to the ground
I have thoughts of other places
Some new town to be found

I was born into a simple life
Didn't take much to satisfy me
Then there came a time in autumn
