Lyrics:
I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'Why mess around with strife'I never was cut out to step and strut outGive me the simple lifeSome find it pleasant dining on pheasantThose things roll off my knifeJust serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoesGive me the simple lifeA cottage small if all I'm afterNot one that's spacious and wideA house that rings with joy and laughterAnd the ones you love insideSome like the high road, I like the low roadFree from the care and strifeSounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedGive me the simple life
