Big Butter and Egg Man

I wish things were simple like they used to be

When cowboys rode horses, and were heroes to me

My Mother was a lady, and my Dad was a man

And I wish things were simple again

I wish things were simple, like when I was a kid

A man just got paid for the work that he did

And a song could be played for a nickel back then

And I wish things were simple again

But even the blue skies roar with thunder

Men fly above like birds

Nothin' is simple, not even a love song

The story gets lost in the words

But there's no way to rewind, it's gone with the wind

And I wish things were simple again

Even the blue skies roar with thunder

Men fly above like birds

Nothin' is simple, not even a love song

The story gets lost in the words

There's no way to rewind, it's gone with the wind

And I wish things were simple again

Oh, I wish things were simple again
