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 humming birds comin in 

Hittin those sugar water feeders 

Then buzzin off again 

Floatin in the wind 



Then the sunset melts into a line of pines 

Yeah life is slow out here, 

But it sure suits me fine 



[Chorus] 

Cause it's the simple things that strum my strings 

The baby crys the moma sings her back to sleep 

Ohh it sounds so sweet 

Its puttin in a hard days work, 

Comin home and puttin on a clean Tshirt 

It's a friends and family gathering 

A neck to hug a joke to tell and a dish to bring 



Yeah it's the simple things 



Yeah 



Like takin my boy to the river on Sundays 

Huntin Tadpoles and Indian money 

And I just laugh, 

While is flipflops splash 



Then we spray em off cause we don't want chiggers 

Baitin our hooks with chicken liver 

Goin yellow cat fishin 

A little whisker lip rippin 



I love it when he says daddy give me five 

And watchin him grunt and grin while hes reelin in 

That flat head on his line 



[Chorus] 

It's the simple things that strum my strings 

The baby crys the moma sings her back to sleep 

Ohh it sounds so sweet 

Its puttin in a hard days work, 

Comin home and puttin on a clean Tshirt 

It's a friends and family gathering 

A neck to hug a joke to tell and a dish to bring 



Yeahh it's the simple things, 

It's the simple things 



Its feelin thankful just lookin at the stars 

Its finding peace of mind in your own backyard 



Yeahhh it's the simple things that strum my strings 

Like big oak trees, tire swings, and lemonade, 

Ice cold and homemade 



Its puttin in a hard days work, 

Comin home and puttin on a clean Tshirt 

It's a friends and family gathering 

A neck to hug a joke to tell and a dish to bring 



It's the simple things 



Mmm 



It's the simple things 



That's it.
