Tony Joe White - Aspen, Colorado

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 turning And one falls softly to the ground I have thoughts of other places Some new town to be found
