Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

A Simple Life

Simple life is the life for me

A man and a wife and a family

And the Lord up above who knows I'm tryin'

To live a simple life in a difficult time.

I used to sit around fussin' at the phone all day

Windin' up alone and it'd make me say

Never again will I be that way

Never again will I be that way.

'Cause a simple life is the life for me

A man and a wife and a family

The Lord up above he knows I'm tryin'

To live a simple life in a difficult time

Well, I work six days and I rest for one

'Cause the ol' rat race ain't never been won

And I sit back and I watch 'em run

I kick on back and I watch 'em run.

'Cause the simple life is the life for me

A man and a wife and a family

The Lord up above who knows I'm tryin'

To live a simple life in a difficult time.

Simple life in a difficult time.

The simple life is the life for me

A man and a wife and a family

And the Lord up above who knows I'm tryin'

To live a simple life in a difficult time.

The simple life is the life for me

A man and a wife and a family

And the Lord up above who knows I'm tryin'.

To live a simple life in a difficult time.

The simple life is the life for me

A steak and a knife and a glass of tea

The Lord up above he knows I'm tryin'

To live a simple life in a difficult time
