Simple Things Lyrics

We got the biggest dog you ever saw
Sprawled on the porch, coolin� off
Down at our place
His name is Ace
We got the hummingbirds comin� in
Hittin� those sugar water feeders and buzzin� off again
Floatin� in the wind
Then the sunset melts into a line of pines
Life is slow out here but it just suits me fine

It�s the simple things that strum my strings
Baby cries, and momma sings him back to sleep
Oh it sounds so sweet
It�s puttin� in a hard day�s work
Comin� home and puttin� on a clean t-shirt
It�s friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
It�s the simple things, yeah

It�s takin� my boy to the river on Sunday
Huntin� tadpoles and Indian money
And I just laugh while his flipflops splash
Then we spray on the Off! �cause we don�t want chiggers
Baitin� our hooks with chicken livers
Goin� yellow catfishin�
A little whisker lick grippin�
I love it when he says �Daddy give me five�
And watchin� him grunt and grin as he�s reelin� in
That flathead on his line

It�s the simple things that strum my strings
Baby cries, and momma sings him back to sleep
Oh it sounds so sweet
It�s puttin� in a hard day�s work
Comin� home and puttin� on a clean t-shirt
It�s friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
Yeah it�s the simple things
It�s the simple things

It�s feelin� thankful
Just lookin� at the stars
It�s findin� piece of mind
In your own backyard

Yeah it�s the simple things that strum my strings
Like big oak trees and tire swings and lemonade
Ice cold and homemade
It�s puttin� in a hard day�s work
Comin� home and puttin� on a clean t-shirt
It�s friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
It�s the simple things
It�s the simple things

That�s it
