The Simple Life

from Old Standbys by Joe Brownrigg

/

lyrics

Smoky wood hues blowin' hard along the breeze
This old place still brings me peace
Whistlin' songbirds at the break of the day
I wish somehow that I could stay

Cuz' you could get lost out in the wild of city lights and busy streets
And your cares get all consuming, like you've been swept far out to sea
People yelling, people shouting
"See the forest through the leaves"
I don't care what they're all saying
It's the simple life for me

Home is somewhere that you place in your heart
It never mattered where you go
Distant memories still define who you are
What you made and what you know

If you get lost out in the wild of city lights and busy streets
And your cares get all consuming, like you've been swept far out to sea
People yelling, people shouting
"See the forest through the leaves"
I don't care what they're all saying
It's the simple life for me

This old place was here long before me
The little peace that would feed my dreams
We all get wrapped up in the pace and wastin' time
I don't think that's what she designed

Cuz' you could get lost out in the wild of city lights and busy streets
And your cares get all consuming, like you've been swept far out to sea
People yelling, people shouting
"See the forest through the leaves"
I don't care what they're all saying
It's the simple life for me
