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 |
