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
