[Intro]
I love the siGmple life, front porch and my loDver’s eyes
Green grass and an oCpen sky, I love a siGmple lifeG  D  C  G  
[Verse 1]
BGorn and raised by GDod’s good Grace
In a TeCxas town where lDife moves at a slower pGace
Learned to wGork with my hands and sDay “yes ma’am”
And that’s a pCart of me that’ll neDver fade aGway
[Chorus]
I love the siGmple life, front porch and my loDver’s eyes
Green grass and an oCpen sky, I love a siGmple life
Got my guitar and a WGaylon tune, ringing out under a souDthern moon
One thing that’s alCways true, I love a siGmple life
[Verse 2]
Got the rGeal smoke, good drDink in my hand
A few friCends on the way and it’s sDure to be a fine nGight
The suGn’s hangin’ low, and I’ve got a piDece in my soul
And I tChink to myself God it’s gDood to be alGive
[Chorus]
I love the siGmple life, front porch and my loDver’s eyes
Green grass and an oCpen sky, I love a siGmple life
Got my guitar and a PGetty tune, ringing out under a souDthern moon
One thing that’s alCways true, I love a siGmple life
[Bridge]
EmAll  D/F#we  neCed are the Emsim - D/F#ple  thCings
