|
| Folks are blessed who make the best of everyday
|
| Living by their own philosophy
|
| Everyone who needs the sun must find a way
|
| And I have found the only way for me
|
| I don’t believe in frettin' and grievin';
|
| Why mess around with strife'
|
| I never was cut out to step and strut out
|
| Give me the simple life
|
| Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
|
| Those things roll off my knife;
|
| Just serve me tomatoes; |
| and mashed potatoes;
|
| Give me the simple life
|
| A cottage small is all I’m after
|
| Not one that’s spacious and wide
|
| A house that rings with joy and laughter
|
| With the ones you love inside
|
| Some like the high road, I like the low road
|
| Free from the care and strife
|
| Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y;
|
| I like the simple life
|
| Life could be thrillin' with one whose willin'
|
| To be a farmers wife
|
| Kids calling me pappy sure makes me happy
|
| Give me the simple life |
