Simple Life

Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I have wandered this world far and wide
I've been all around to the other side
But there's nothin' like comin' home
Nothin' like comin' home

I want to sit on my front porch and drink my lemonade
Cut my grass after church every Sunday
And go out Saturday night
Live the simple life

Wake up in the morning to these fields of gold
And take a long walk down a gravel road
Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow
Know that I'll always have someone to hold
Oh I-I-I want to live the simple life, yeah

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da

I want to take a blanket
Down to the creek
And let the water sing me to sleep
Let go of time
Live the simple life
Oh yeah

But lately I've seen too many city lights
I want to go somewhere where I can see the stars at night

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow
Know that I'll always have someone to hold
Oh I-I-I want to live the simple life
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine (sweet sunshine)
Rock in my swing and watch my babies grow
Know that I'll always have some, someone to hold, oh

I wanna spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow
Know that I'll always have someone to hold
Oh I-I-I want to live the simple life, yeah
Oh, I wanna live the simple life
Yes I do
I wanna spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Oh, I wanna live the simple life, yeah

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da

That's right!
