Fox are blessed who make the best of everything Living by their own philosophy Everyone who needs 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 and strut out Give me the simple life
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant Those things roll off of my knife Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes Give me the simple life
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 you love inside
Some like the high road, I like the low road Free from the care and strife Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed I love the simple life
Life could be thrilling with one who’s willing to be a farmer’s wife Kids Callin’ me Pappy sure makes me happy Give Me the Simple life
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant Those things roll off of my knife Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes Give me the simple life
