I wish things were simple like they used to be When cowboys rode horses, and were heroes to me My Mother was a lady, and my Dad was a man And I wish things were simple again
I wish things were simple, like when I was a kid A man just got paid for the work that he did And a song could be played for a nickel back then And I wish things were simple again
But even the blue skies roar with thunder Men fly above like birds Nothin' is simple, not even a love song The story gets lost in the words
But there's no way to rewind, it's gone with the wind And I wish things were simple again
Even the blue skies roar with thunder Men fly above like birds Nothin' is simple, not even a love song The story gets lost in the words
There's no way to rewind, it's gone with the wind And I wish things were simple again Oh, I wish things were simple again...
