Back To 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.
It' so easy to get all caught up
In the fast pace of this modern age
Makes you wonder if were making progress
Or just losing who we are along the way
I've been trying to figure out
How to dial it back and slow it down
Can't be as complicated as it seems
The heart of me loves yesterday
So pardon me now while I make
My way back to the simple things
If you call me I may not answer
Might not get back to you for quite a while
I'll be fishin' with my family
Cause livin' in the moments more my style
I've been trying to figure out
How to dial it back and slow it down
Can't be as complicated as it seems
The heart of me loves yesterday
So pardon me now while I make
My way back to the simple things
Tonight I'm turnin' off the TV
Watch the stars out for a change
Sit on the front porch with my baby
Rockin' all the way
Maybe that'll help me figure out
How to dial it back and slow it down
Can't be as complicated as it seems
The heart of me loves yesterday
So pardon me now while I make
My way back to the simple things
