VERSE 1
Tell me what’s so wrong with nice and easy
Never done a detriment to me
Man you get so weary
Trying to stay so strong
When a breath is all you really need

Sometimes I think I must being going crazy
Living in a different century
Smell of Colorado
Bouncing through my dreams
Asking me to join it on the breeze

CHORUS 1
I don’t mind the simple life
I’ve been dreamer all my life
We could leave tomorrow
Just pack up the car
I’ll be fine
As long as I can drive
And you don’t pause the podcast after it starts

VERSE 2
Sometimes a week can feel just like a lifetime
And Sometimes a year can feel just like a week
While you’re fighting battles
Darkening your mood
A stray dog just trying to drink and eat

How does it feel to make a million dollars
How fast you goin  in that brand new SUV
Is it any faster
Than time flying by
Or the gray hair growing on your cheeks?

CHORUS 2
I don’t mind the simple life
I’ve been a dreamer all my life
What the fuck is a block chain
Or an NFT
Can they clear my mind
Or buy more time
With you here next to me

PRE BEFORE DOUBLE CHORUS
The rain in Mississippi
The sun in west LA
Take it in and never miss a thing

New York City skyline
A Travis County breeze
A state of mind is all we really need

CHORUS 3 (DOUBLE)
I don’t mind the simple life
I’ve been dreamer all my life
Move out to the country
Open up a bar
Our favorite songs
Sing em all night long
And smile up at the stars

I don’t mind the simple life
Not with you there by my side
Just our minds and bodies
And our hearts to guide
Under moonlit skies
And I’ll memorize
every dot in your shining perfect emerald eyes

Simple Life

Dreamer

Come down to me
All Covered in love
We’re Far from the trolls 
In the tower above

I’ve got a wave 
You’ve got a flower
We spent our days there for hours and hours

Far from the lights
We found a home
We found a place where our bodies could go
We found it all
Falling in love on the back row

I fade away
You’re fading with me
Dimming the lights
While we sit in the cold

There in that place
Far from the choosers
Making our own mind  
And we do it alone

I fell asleep
You caught a cold
We found a place where our bodies could grow
We found it all
Falling in love on the back row

I Believe that we’ll find a away
I believe that we will recover
I believe in lusting for love
But one of these is not like the other

I believe that we’ll make it through
Hold tight and wait til tomorrow
You and me we’re going there soon
Feel the love and fuck all the sorrow

Just wait for tomorrow

I Believe that we’ll find a away
I believe that we will recover
I believe in lusting for love
But one of these is not like the other

I believe that we’ll make it through
Hold tight and wait til tomorrow
You and me we’re going there soon
Feel the love and fuck all the sorrow

I believe in the perfection of the frame
Do the dance of the dust in the color
I believe that our dreams have a name
I’ll beg, you’ll borrow

I remember that look that you  gave
Between the tick of an old time projector 
Below the surface we found a new name

We found a love
We found a home
We found a place where our bodies could grow
We found it all
Falling asleep on the back row
