Lyrics

Simple As

Some say I should do this
Some say I should do that
Keep my nose to the wheel, make a lot of money,
Try to keep it all on the track, keep the train upon the tracks

Well, I paid my dues down through the years
Runnin’ down this long highway
But now I find, I think it’s time, to pull off in the shade
To pull off in the shade

Simple is, Simple as
Scrambled eggs, toast and jam
All I wanna do, wrong or right
Day in day out, is live a simple life

I’m gonna let my emails go to seed
Let my cell phone ring that ring
‘Cuz there’s a breeze on the river, callin’ my name
Callin’ me upstream, sayin’ Johnny won’t you come upstream

Maybe catch me a couple a brown trout
Throw ‘em in the frying pan
Pick some kale from the garden, make a little salad
Sit down my wife and then, Say a little thanks for the gifts we have

Chorus repeat

Now I take it easy, now I take it slow
Now I take walks down the middle of the road
With no particular place to go, no particular place to go

When the day is done and the sun goes down
The Whippoorwill calls to the night
‘Gonna take a hot bath, crawl beneath the sheets
And smile ‘bout my simple life, a little smile for my simple life

Chorus repeat
