Simple Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life today is frittered away
You've got to simplify
Each in our own way, we live for today
And never know why
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
Take your cars and your bars
And trade 'em all in for a nice wood fire
At the end of the day I know you will say
You couldn't get much higher
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
You know I'd like to make it mine
You know I'd like to make it mine
