Oh, if you love the life you live, then you'll get a lot more done

Be more inclined to take the reins and turn away and run

It's very rare, it seems to get a lifetime guarantee

So I suppose self-satisfaction be the key

Oh, my father is a wealthy, self-made man

But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land

And instead, he has a family who are his biggest fans

That's something that I one day hope to have

So I'll cherish the simple things

The easy, took for granted things

Like going round my mum's house for my tea

And argue with my sister, only God knows how I've missed her

It's the simple things that mean the most to me

Ah, he gets up each day at five

And starts the car and makes the drive

And shutters up and starts the fryers

Serves out food to all the buyers in the town

As they stand there in the same old line

And get there every day at the same old time

No, you never gonna hear him grumble or groan

'Cause they're the people in the line that he built on

And like me, he cherished the simple things

The easy, took for granted things

Like going round his mum's house for his tea

And argue with his sister, only God knows how he missed her

It's the simple things that mean the most to him
