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
