Give Me the Simple Life |
| 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 |
