August And Everything After

Omaha

[Verse 1]
I like movies where the good guys win
I like pants that I can still fit in
I got friends that love me even though
Mistakes I've made I know I should have known
Don't need cable, don't need HBO
I can kill my time all on my own
Got a world I've built inside my head
I got dreams I haven't played out yet

[Chorus]
I got everything I need
The simple things for free
I got everything
I ain't rich and I ain't poor
I ain't worried anymore
Of what I got
I've got a lot
That they don't sell in a store

[Verse 2]
Got the moon that shines up in the sky
Still got the twinkle in my eye
I'm grateful for my family
Don't deserve them, they don't deserve me
Got all my fingers, all my toes
I'm still rooting for the underdog
Everybody looking at their phone
I hope they find what they are looking for

[Chorus]
But I got everything I need
The simple things for free
I got everything
I ain't rich and I ain't poor
I ain't worried anymore
Of what I got
I've got a lot
That they don't sell in a store

[Chorus]
I got everything I need
The simple things for free
I got everything I need
The simple things for free
I got everything I need
The simple things for free
I got everything I need
The simple things for free

The Simple Things For Free

Old Keys

V1.
The key to leaving behind the past
Is to lock it up and walk away.
And if I never shut that door
I’d always be tempted to stay
But this door looks like a mirror
And this reflection’s starting to show it
It don’t take much to quit 
And I’ll be gone before you know it.

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors.

V2.
There’s the key to my first apartment.
The one we shared before I got burned
And the keys to every car I’ve crashed
And the lessons that I learned.
The keys to my failed hopes and dreams
The ones that you begged me to start.
And then there’s the key I hate the most
The one that unlocks my great big heart.

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors

Bridge
The key to moving forward
And the key to moving on
Are the only keys I’m taking 
‘Cos I’m packed up and gone

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be all the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors
