Simple

(album: The Only Way I Knew How - 2023)

Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah I'm just tryna live simple
Yeah I'm just tryna live simple, yeah
Slow it down, mmh, yeah
Slow it down, yeah, yeah
Slow it down
Slow it down yeah

Been tryna slow it down, I got too much in my head
Know life is short, it burn like a cigarette
I'm scared to love this town 'cause then I'm never gonna leave, no
I turned 21, and still I ain't never left
Few friends of mine, I could count 'em on my hand
These days of late I swear I don't know what to believe

I'm just tryna live simple
Simple as I can
Buy a house with a piece land
Couple drinks when the work week end
I'm just tryna live simple
Pick away on this old guitar
Take a drive but not too far
Have you laying here in my arms

And I hate to say I'm wrong, you know what I meant
Can't open up, I'm not going to the edge
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me
I wanna write a poem and sit on my picket fence
Feel the world go by and wonder when it's gonna end
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me

So simple, yeah yeah
Yeah I just wanna live simple
I'm just tryna live, I'm just tryna live

I'm just tryna live simple
Simple as I can
Buy a house with a piece land
Couple drinks when the work week end
I'm just tryna live simple
Pick away on this old guitar
Take a drive but not too far
Have you laying here in my arms

And I hate to say I'm wrong, you know what I meant
Can't open up, I'm not going to the edge
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me
I wanna write a poem and sit on my picket fence
Feel the world go by and wonder when it's gonna end
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me

So simple
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah I just wanna live simple (live simple)
I'm just tryna live, I'm just tryna live

Been tryna slow it down, I got too much in my head
Know life is short, it burn like a cigarette, oh
I'm close enough
I'm close enough
Simple
Yeah, I just wanna live simple
