Lyrics to Simple Life

WE BUILT OUR HOUSE OF LOGS IN THE WOODS

BUILT IT OURSELVES BECAUSE WE COULD

WHEN IT WAS DONE WE SAID IT WAS GOOD

WE WANTED TO LIVE THE SIMPLE LIFE



I GATHER WOOD RIGHT OFF OUR LAND

SPLIT IT FOR FIRE WITH MY OWN HANDS

HAUL MY WATER FROM THE SPRING WHEN I CAN

ALL SO WE CAN LIVE THE SIMPLE LIFE



I JUST COULDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY WAY TOO MANY ROADS AND NOT ENOUGH TREES

I CAN ONLY TAKE IT FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN IT'S BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE



I WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE EDGE OF TOWN

ONE FOOT ON PAVEMENT ONE ON GROUND

CROWDED DAYS AT SCHOOL SPUN MY HEAD AROUND

SO I'D HURRY BACK TO MY SIMPLE LIFE



I CAN'T SEEM TO GIVE UP ONE OR THE OTHER

THE CITY'S MY WORK THE COUNTRY'S MY LOVER

SO I'LL BE BETWEEN THE TWO FOREVER

AS LONG AS I CAN LIVE MY SIMPLE LIFE



I JUST COULDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE AND NOT ENOUGH SOLITUDE

I CAN ONLY TAKE IT FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN IT'S BACK TO MY SIMPLE LIFE

Solo

I JUST COULDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY WAY TOO MANY BUILDINGS AND NOT ENOUGH AIR TO BR.

I CAN ONLY TAKE IT FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN IT'S BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE



SO NOW I FIND MY MUSIC IN THE WOODS

IN BETWEEN CHORES OF WATER AND WOOD

THEN I PACK UP MY SONGS OF STRINGS ON WOOD

TO BRING YOU A TASTE OF A SIMPLE LIFE



YOU KNOW IT'S ALL INSIDE OUR HEADS

NO MATTER WHAT WE DO OR WHERE WE MAKE OUR BED

AS LONG AS WE ARE LOVING AND WE'RE FED

ANYONE CAN LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE

EVERYONE CAN LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE

I JUST WANT TO LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE
