Folks are blessed
Who make the best of every day
ย
Living by their own philosophy
Everyone beneath the sun must find a way
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
But those things run off of my knife
Just serve me tomatoes
And mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life
ย
A cottage small is all I'm after
ย
Not one that's spacious and wide
ย
A house that rings with joy and laughter
ย
And the ones you love inside
ย
Some take the high road
I'll take the low road
Free from all care and strife
ย
If you know it sounds corny, sounds seedy
Oh yes, indeedy
Give me the simple
Please make it simple
But give me the simple, simple life
ย
