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
