Aspen Home

[Verse 1]
Born and raised in Virginia, learned to take the heat,
Now Mississippi’s humid air won’t let me sleep.
I’m wishing for Aspen, where the cool winds roam—
For mountain-and-river views outside my home.

[Chorus]
Trade this heavy heat for a Colorado breeze,
Let the waterfalls sing through the pinewood trees.
I’d rather wake where the high peaks rise—
With an owl calling softly under open skies.

[Verse 2]
Here the night sticks close, the air hangs like a sheet,
I dream of clear cold mornings and a quiet retreat.
A river running near me, bright against the stone,
The sound of wild water saying, “You’re home.”

[Bridge]
Mississippi, you’re not where my heart wants to stay;
I’m counting mountain miles till I’m on my way.

[Outro]
From Virginia roots to a Colorado view,
That cool river home is the life I’d choose.
