[Verse 1]

Gas station coffee, cheap motels

Fresh cut field of grass, and the way it smells

Birds on the water, stars in the sky

Just a few of my favourite things, let me tell you why

[Verse 2]

'Cause they don't cost nothin'

At least not much

I never found the need for fancy things and such

My worn in jeans well they fit just right

I've learned to love the simple things in life

[Chorus]

Simple things, tried and true

They prop you up, and they pull you through

If tomorrow brings me pain and strife

At least I've always have those little simple things in life

[Verse 3]

Fresh tortillas, beans and rice

Hardwood floors and neon lights

A full tank of gas, wide open road

Country music on my radio

[Chorus]

Simple things, tried and true

They prop you up, and they pull you through

If tomorrow brings me pain and strife

At least I've always have those little simple things in life
