Homeless in Aspen

This town's not doing it for me
This chill in the air
And it's not as if I can't see
The way that people stare

Hope that I can leave here soon
Maybe down Boulder way
Leave right about high noon
Didn't get to do it today

And you may see me in the shadows
Drifting and walking alone
Or fighting my own battles
Pretending that I have a home

But Aspen's not at fault here
And nor is it the weather
And nor is it the time of year
When they're all dressed up in leather

No, it's what I thought it was
And I've known it for a while
It's all these dreams tumbling inward into junk
Thrown in a pile

And you may see me in the shadows
Drifting and walking alone
Or fighting my own battles
Pretending that I have a home

This town's not doing it for me
This chill in the air
And it's not as if I can't see
The way that people stare

No, it's what I thought it was
And I've known it for a while
It's all these dreams tumbling inward into junk
Thrown in a pile

And you may see me in the shadows
Drifting and walking alone
Or fighting my own battles
Pretending that I have a home

This town's not doing it for me
This chill in the air
