The Simple Things

(album: The Simple Things - 2014)

I got an old coffee mug that my granddad used to own
I'm sipping it slow on the porch and it's good to be home
Watching the sun come up and a dove on the wing
I'm thinking while I listen to the mockingbird sing
That I sure do love the simple things

The best things in life you don't plug in
A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind
A long kiss, a good ol' memory
Keeping you grounded and making you whole
Reminding you you've got a soul
As long as I've got a full belly, and a song to sing
I'll be thanking God for the simple things

You got an egg in the skillet, I can smell it starting to fry
You got your hair pulled back in a ponytail outta your eyes
Saying good morning, I love you, how did you sleep
Might as well be poetry I feel it so deep
And you, you sure do know how to do those simple things

The best things in life, you don't plug in
A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind
A long kiss, a good ol' memory
Keeping you grounded and making you whole
Reminding you you've got a soul
As long as I've got a full belly, and a song to sing
I'll be thanking God for the simple things

Yeah, you know me baby I'm a simple man
Live 'til I die, honey that's the plan
As long as I've got a full belly, and a song to sing
I'll be thanking God for the simple things

Yeah
I thank God for the simple things, the simple things
Yeah
Thank God, I thank God
Oh yeah
