Give Me the Simple Life Lyrics

Folks are blessed who make the best of everyday
living by their own philosophy
everyone who needs the sun must find a way
and 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.
Those things roll off my knife;
Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes;
Give me the simple life.
A cottage small is all I'm after,
Not one that's s***ious and wide.
A house that rings with joy and laughter
with the ones you love inside.

Some like the high road, I like the low road,
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y;
I like the simple life
Life could be thrillin' with one whose willin'
To be a farmers wife
it's calling me pappy sure make(s) me happy
Give me the simple life.
