I love the simple life
Front porch and my lover's eyes
Green grass and an open sky
I love the simple life
Born and raised by God's good grace
In a Texas town where life moves at a slower pace
Learned to work with my hands, and say: "Yes, ma'am"
That's a part of me that'll never fade away
I love the simple life
Front porch and my lover's eyes
Green grass and an open sky
I love the simple life
Got my guitar and a Waylon tune
Ringing out under a Southern moon
One thing that's always true
I love the simple life
Got the grill smoke, good drink in my hand
A few friends on the way and it's sure to be a fine night
Sun's hanging low, and I've got a peace in my soul
And I think to myself: "God, it's good to be alive"
I love the simple life
Front porch and my lover's eyes
Green grass and an open sky
I love the simple life
Got my guitar and a Petty tune
Ringing out under a Southern moon
One thing that's always true
I love the simple life
All we need are the simple things
To see the world with open eyes
And arms to hold you close at night
Though it ain't always easy, it'll be alright
I love the simple life
Front porch and my lover's eyes
Green grass and an open sky
I love the simple life
I got my guitar and a Willie tune
Ringing out under a Southern moon
One thing that's always true
I love the simple life
Yeah it's built for me and you
I love the simple life
One thing that's always true
I love the simple life
