[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] |      |      |
