Aspen Colorado
White Tony Joe
[Intro] | | | [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 2] 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" [Verse 4] 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 [Interlude] | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 5] 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 [Outro] | | |
