Letras de Give Me the Simple Life

Folks are blessed who make the best of every day
Living by their own philosophy
Everyone beneath the sun must find a way
And I have found the only way for me

I don′t believe in frettin' and grievin′
Why mess around with strife?
I never was cut out to step out and strut out
Give me the simple life

Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
Those things roll off my knife
Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life

Now a cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones that you love inside

Some like the high road, I like the low road
Free from the cares and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes indeedy
Give me the simple life

I greet the dawn when I awaken
The sky is clear up above
I like my scrambled eggs and bacon
Served by someone that I love
Life could be thrilling with one who′s willing
To be a farmer′s wife
Kids calling me "Pappy" would make me so happy
