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
