Lyrics of Aspen gold

Harold payne

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)
