Simple

Take my hand

Lead me up into the promise land

I will follow you but I’m no man for

Trophies pageants and big band stands

I make myself a little bit smaller and I’m

Comfortable as a flower on the wall

I know that you want to be remembered

I don’t want to spend my whole life

Dancing for peanuts on a Sunday night

Building a legacy to leave behind

I’m just happy with the simple life

Ooh I’m simple and you are complicated

And what we need is a life we can agree on

Ooh I’m easy and you are difficult

And it’s been so hard to find a life we can

Agree on

I numb my face

Hide my treasures and I tolerate

Social graces and I drop my gaze

A politician in a rebel state

I don’t want to spend my whole life

Dancing for peanuts on a Sunday night

Building a legacy to leave behind

I just want to live a simple life

And when I sleep at night

I see us on a porch all old and grey

We reminisce all night and hold each other

Like our younger days

Ooh I’m easy and you are difficult

And it’s been so hard to find a life we can agree on
