Lyrics Small Up And Simple Down - Tim O'Brien

Small Up And Simple Down

Matching Mercedes and cellular phones
A twenty room house but we’re never at home
The money rolls in, we spend every dime
But we never get to spend any quality time
Big city life keeps us rushin' around
We gotta small up and simple down
It’s early mornin' meetings and late night meals
Open that briefcase and close that deal
Grid locked in the daily grind
Got a piece of the rock but no piece of mind
It’s time we turned every last thing around
We gotta small up and simple down
Get off of this merry-go-round, get our feet back on the ground
Just find a little one horse town, small up and simple down
Small up and simple down
Get off of this merry-go-round, get our feet back on the ground
Just find a little one horse town, small up and simple down
Lose the sirens and the traffic lights
Give me the crickets and the starry nights
Trade in the suits and the French cuisine
For some cowboy boots, biscuits and beans
Sell the poodle, get a bluetick hound
Small up and simple down
Honey don’t you love the way it sounds
Small up and simple down
