Simple Life

Lord, Lord I need the simple life Lord, Lord I need the simple life Everything is in flux That's why I don't say much If I should say something now I'll be wrong later somehow Lord I need the simple life A healthy son, a holy wife, I'll go and work out in the fields And come home to my baby's meal This loaf of bread and butter knife This could get me through this life Lord, Lord I need the simple life How can we know what it means When it means so much? How can we love what we don't see When all we need is to touch? Lord I need the simple life A healthy son, a holy wife, I'll go and work out in the fields And come home to my baby's meal This loaf of bread and butter knife This could get me through this life Lord, Lord I need the simple life Lord, Lord I need the simple life Let's take this river and ride Over to the other side Let's take this rhythm and roll Back before the things that we know Let's take this river and ride Over to the other side Let's take this rhythm and roll Back before the things that we know Let's take this river and ride Over to the other side Let's take this rhythm and roll Back before the things that we know Lord, Lord I need the simple life Lord, Lord I need the simple life Lord, Lord I need the simple life
