Lyrics
The Simple Things
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.
Something's going on round here,
But I'm not sure what it is,
Just a feeling I can't explain
On these mean and dirty streets;
Sitting in my car, crawling inch by inch
In this cold and dirty rain,
I think I'll just get outa here
And I won't come back again;
CHORUS;
I'm flyin' down the Gold Coast Highway,
Feelin' like I've grown into my wings,
The way they treat you here is just a shame
But I'll always remember
The simple things
There are cowboys in this town
Who'll make a mess of you,
They only want to put you down,
Because they can't face the truth;
Everybody talks so much,
But no- one's listening,
That's why they're all so out of touch
And their words don't mean a thing
