Steve Tyrell - Give Me The Simple Life lyrics

Folks are blessed who make the best of everyday Living by their own philosophy Everyone who needs the sun must find a way And I have found the only way for me I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'; Why mess around with strife' I never was cut out to step and strut out Give me the simple life Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant Those things roll off my knife; Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes; Give me the simple life A cottage small is all I'm after Not one that's spacious and wide A house that rings with joy and laughter With the ones you love inside Some like the high road, I like the low road Free from the care and strife Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y; I like the simple life Life could be thrillin' with one whose willin' To be a farmers wife It's calling me pappy sure make(s) me happy Give me the simple life
