Aspen Colorado - Tony Joe White

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

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
