simple things

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 pines
Life is slow out here but it just suits me fine

Its the simple things that strum my strings
Baby cries, and momma sings him back to sleep
Oh it sounds so sweet
Its puttin in a hard days work
Comin home and puttin on a clean t-shirt
Its friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
Its the simple things, yeah

Its takin my boy to the river on Sunday
Huntin tadpoles and Indian money
And I just laugh while his flipflops splash
Then we spray on the Off! cause we dont want chiggers
Baitin our hooks with chicken livers
Goin yellow catfishin
A little whisker lick grippin
I love it when he says Daddy give me five
And watchin him grunt and grin as hes reelin in
That flathead on his line

Its the simple things that strum my strings
Baby cries, and momma sings him back to sleep
Oh it sounds so sweet
Its puttin in a hard days work
Comin home and puttin on a clean t-shirt
Its friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
Yeah its the simple things
Its the simple things

Its feelin thankful
Just lookin at the stars
Its findin piece of mind
In your own backyard

Yeah its the simple things that strum my strings
Like big oak trees and tire swings and lemonade
Ice cold and homemade
Its puttin in a hard days work
Comin home and puttin on a clean t-shirt
Its friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
Its the simple things
Its the simple things

Thats it
