Take my hand, lead me up into the promised land

I will follow you but I'm no man, for

Trophies pageants and the big band stand

I'll make myself a little smaller and I'll conjure up as a flower

And for all I know that you want to be remembered

I don't want to spend my whole life

Dancing for peanuts on a Sunday night

Building a legacy to leave behind

I'm just happy with a simple life

Ooh, I'm simple and you are complicated

And what we need is a life we can agree on

Ooh, I'm easy and you are difficult

And it's been so hard to find a life we can agree on

I'll numb my face, hide my treasure and I'll tolerate

Social graces and I'll drop my gaze, politician in a rebel state

But I don't want to spend my whole life

Dancing for peanuts on a Sunday night

Building a legacy to leave behind

I'm just happy with a simple life

Ooh, I'm simple and you are complicated

And what we need is a life we can agree on

Ooh, I'm easy and you are difficult

And it's been so hard to find a life we can agree on

And when I sleep at night I see us on a porch of old

And pray we'd reminisce of night and

Hold each other like our younger days

Ooh, I'm easy and you are difficult

And it's been so hard to find a life we can agree on

Ooh, I'm simple and you are complicated

And what we need is a life we can agree on

Ooh, I'm easy and you are difficult

And it's been so hard to find a life we can agree on
