I've been thinking about the simple life I'd like to have with you
A mighty place where we could stay
Friends come to stay to visit
Wondering why I've thrown it all away
I feel strange with language
Which I haven't spoken in awhile
Well my friends this is the simple life
Filthy, they join us in the living room
Before I met them all what was my life like
Hot box from the basement
And try to explain what I use to do
They're going through all the cresent photos
My chilidren say that that isn't like you
That was not the simple life
Without my funny looking sandales
Head down to the market for some food
Scratch my feelings out of here
And go on long walks with you
With my wife, walking through the simple life
Well my kids, tell my friends good-bye
It's time my friends to go back to the good life
