[Intro ]
G G ( 2x)
G
I have wondered this world far and wide
G
I've been all around to the other side
D
But there's nothin' like comin' home
G
Nothin like comin' home
G
I wanna sit on my front porch and drink my lemonade
G
Cut my grass after church every Sunday
D
And go out Saturday night
G
Live the simple life
D
Wake up in the morning to these fields of gold
Em D
And take a long walk down a gravel road
Chorus
G
Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
G
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow
D
Know that I'll always have someone to hold
Em D G
Oh I-I-I wanna live the simple life.
G
I wanna take a blanket down to the creek
G
And let the water sing me to sleep
D
Let go of time
G
Live the simple life
D
Lately I've seen too many city lights
Em D
I wanna go somewhere where I can see the stars at night
Chorus
G
Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
G
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow
D
Know that I'll always have someone to hold
Em D G
Oh I-I-I wanna live the simple life.
