It's the simple things in life Like the kids at home and a loving wife That you miss the most when you lose control Everything you love starts to disappear The devil takes your hand and says, no fear Have another shot, just one more beer I've been there,

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

Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night Take me back to the basics and the simple life Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby But all this driving Is driving me crazy And all this moving Is proving to

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

Dumb plus dumb equals you Didn't get it the first time And I may not be Einstein Simple math Our love divided by the square root of pride Multiply your lifeless time I'm going out of my mind But don't think I've been so blind

Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night Take me back to the basics and the simple life Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby But all this driving Is driving me crazy And all this moving Is proving to

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

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

My baby you And 'cause of you I don't have to wonder why There's no more just getting by As I look into your eyes I see all the reasons why My life's worth a thousand skies You're the simplest love I've known
