Give Me The Simple Life

verse 1 Folks are blessed, who make the best, of everyday Living by their own philosophy Everyone beneath the sun must find a way And I have found the only way for me verse 2 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 verse 3 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 Now, a cottage small is all I'm after Not one that's spacious and wide A house that rings with joy and laughter And the ones that you love inside verse 4 Some like the high road, I like the low road Free from the care and strife Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y Give me the simple life Instrumental I greet the dawn when I awaken The sky is clear up above I like my scrambled eggs and bacon Served by someone that I love Verse 5 Life could be thrilling, with one who's willing To be a farmer's wife Kids callin' me pappy, would make me so happy Give me the simple life Give me the simple life Give me the simple life
