I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life verse 1 Born and raised by God’s good Grace In a Texas town where life moves at a slower pace Learned to work with my hands and say “yes ma’am” And that’s a part of me that’ll never fade away I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life Got my guitar and a wailing tune, ringing out under a southern moon One thing that’s always true, I love a simple life verse 2 Got the real smoke, good drink in my hand A few friends on the way and it’s sure to be a fine night The sun’s hangin’ low, and I’ve got a piece in my soul And I think to myself God it’s good to be alive I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life Got my guitar and a wailing tune, ringing out under a southern moon One thing that’s always true, I love a simple life Bridge All we need are the sim - ple things To see the world with open eyes and arms to hold you close at night But it ain’t always easy, it’ll be alright Key Change I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life Got my guitar and a wailing tune, ringing out under a southern moon One thing that’s always true, I love a simple life Ending Yeah it’s built for me and you, I love the simple life One thing that’s always true, I love a simple life
