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 
AlabamaBut the man said he didn't need no one today
I made my way down to 
MemphisAnd stayed a few days
Got a letter from my 
MommaShe said "Boy won't you try to come homeYour Daddy said he'd give you all the landFor 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
