Aspen Gold

I hitchhiked into Idaho in the middle of the night

Caught the autumn outdoor late show by God's own candle light

I closed my eyes reluctantly while mother nature waved her wand

When I awoke I saw before me in the dawn

Chorus:

Aspen gold among the green. Prettiest sight my eyes have ever

seen.

Aspen gold among the green. Prettiest sight this city boy's ole

smoggy eyes have seen.

Caught a ride from an old-time miner

Heading aimless toward his past

He talked about his younger years and a life just as fast

They were looking for a fool's gold buried deep inside the

ground

Well, if they had looked up into the trees, they would have

found.

(Chorus)
