Life on Mars

If it turns out there's life on Mars

Hope there's country girls with flowers in their hair

Big red barns and green open fields

A place to go fishin' or I ain't goin' there

It's the simple things in life like a walk in the park

Holdin' hands and kissin' in the dark

Mama's voice callin', little kids runnin'

A big pile of leaves that we can all jump in

Right here is alright by me

There's no place that I'd rather be

If there's something else out there

I don't care

'Cause Mars is just too far for me

If it turns out there's life beyond the stars

Hope there's some good folks pickin' guitars

Friday night lights and Saturday dances

County fairs, Graceland and Elvis

It's the simple things in life make it all worthwhile

A place to hang your hat after a long hard mile

The smell of wood smoke, sweet tea on the back porch

Home cookin' waitin', your family's at the table

Right here is alright by me

There's no place that I'd rather be

If there's something else out there

I don't care

'Cause Mars is just too far for me

If it turns out there's life on Mars

Hope there's back roads and tall white pines

Campfires cracklin', old friends laughin'

On the beach the waves are crashin'

It's the simple things in life like a walk in the park

Holdin' hands and kissin' in the dark

Mama's voice callin', little kids runnin'

A big pile of leaves that we can all jump in

Right here is alright by me

There's no place that I'd rather be

If there's something else out there

I don't care

'Cause Mars is just too far for me

Yeah, Mars is just too far for me

Mars is just too far for me
