I grew up in a small place, had to drive an hour just to see a movie I'm a simple person, city life just doesn't move me I'd rather be home with my grandparents and playing Euchre Didn't wanna leave but this dream's calling, I had to do it I left my girl

Is that alright? To look right in my eyes To tell me you love me To be by my side At the end of my life At the moment I die Life is so simple A little boy, a little girl

Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony Life was so simple then We were so innocent Stunned and bewildered Cold and afraid Torn up and broken Frightened and dazed I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery In peaceful sedation, I lay

So sorry, so sorry I'm sorry, so sorry I live a simple life Unfettered by complex sweets You think this isn't me? I'm so sorry Thank you for being there for me Thank you for listening, goodbye

It’s the kids and the dogs and you and me It’s the way it’s alright when everything goes wrong It’s the sound of a slow simple song But I love my life man it’s something to see Lately things are on my mind Good news is hard to find And I work on the

I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple, but now that it's done How wonderful life is, now you're in the world It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

We're walking the tightrope With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh High in the sky We can see the whole world down below That comes with a breathtaking view Walking the tightrope Some people long for a life that is simple and planned Tied with a ribbon

As I approach the prime of my life I find I have the time of my life Learning to enjoy at my leisure All the simple pleasures And so I happily concede That this is all I ask This is all I need Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me

For such a simple man I know it sounds absurd When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily Oh joyfully, playfully watching me But then

Do you know how hard that is? I know you love your children I know you love your wife I know you set yourself up to live the simple life. Since you were young and it’s so bright. I can offer you so little help But just accept the hands you’ve been dealt
