Michael Monroe 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
