aspen, colorado on a saturday night
jesse wishes she was at home
upset because her baby just ain¡¯t treatin¡¯ her right
so afraid of being alone
said she heard some stories he¡¯s been runnin¡¯ around
said somehow she knows it¡¯s all true
she says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
she said she don¡¯t know what to do

think about a bad time, can¡¯t get much worse
think about a hard time, take it to the wall
this won¡¯t be the last time, sure ain¡¯t the first
the bigger they are, the harder they fall

you might say she¡¯s caught between a rock and a hard place
you might say she just can¡¯t win
some just can¡¯t recover from a slap in the face
some just get right up and start all over again

think about a bad time, can¡¯t get much worse
think about a hard time, take it to the wall
this won¡¯t be the last time, sure ain¡¯t the first
the bigger they are, the harder they fall

think about a bad time, can¡¯t get much worse
think about a hard time, take it to the wall
this won¡¯t be the last time, sure ain¡¯t the first
the bigger they are, the harder they fall

aspen, colorado on a saturday night
jesse wishes she was at home
she¡¯s mad because her baby just ain¡¯t treatin¡¯ her right
so afraid of being alone
so afraid of being alone
nobody wants to be all alone
she don¡¯t want to be all alone
so afraid of being alone
we don¡¯t want to be all alone
