Simple Things Lyrics

We got the biggest dog you ever saw Sprawled on the porch coolin' off down at our place His name is Ace
We got the hummingbirds comin' in Hittin' those sugar water feeders and buzzin' off again Floatin' in the wind
Then the sunset melts into a line of clouds Well, life is slow out here but it sure suits me fine
'Cause it's the simple things that strum my strings The baby cries, a mama sings her back to sleep Oh, it sounds so sweet
It's puttin' in a hard day's work Comin' home and puttin' on a clean T-shirt
It's friends and family gathering A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring Yeah, it's the simple things, yeah
I like takin' my boy to the river on Sundays Huntin' tadpoles and the Indian .oney And I just laugh while his flip flops splash
And we spray on the off 'cause we don't want chiggers Baitin' our hooks with chicken livers Goin' yellow cat fishin', a little whisker lip rippin'
I love it when he says, "Daddy give me five" And watching him grunt and grin While he's reelin' in that flathead on his line
Yeah, it's the simple things that strum my strings The baby cries, a mama sings her back to sleep Oh, it sounds so sweet
It's puttin' in a hard day's work Coming home and puttin' on a clean T-shirt
It's friends and family gathering A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring Yeah, it's the simple things, it's the simple things
It's feelin' thankful just lookin' at the stars It's findin' peace of mind in your own backyard
Yeah, it's the simple things that strum my strings Like big oak trees and tire swings and lemonade Ice cold and homemade
It's puttin' in a hard day's work Comin' home and puttin' on a clean T-shirt
It's friends and family gathering A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring It's the simple things, it's the simple things That's it
