It's so easy to get all caught up 
In the fast pace of this modern age 
Makes you wonder if were making progress 
Or just losing who we are along the way 

I've been trying to figure out 
How to dial it back and slow it down 
Can't be as complicated as it seems
The heart of me loves yesterday
So pardon me now while I make
My way back to the simple things

If you call me I may not answer
Might not get back to you for quite a while
I'll be fishin' with my family
Cause livin' in the moments more my style

I've been trying to figure out 
How to dial it back and slow it down 
Can't be as complicated as it seems
The heart of me loves yesterday
So pardon me now while I make
My way back to the simple things

Tonight I'm turnin' off the TV
Watch the stars out for a change
Sit on the front porch with my baby
Rockin' all the way

Maybe that'll help me figure out
How to dial it back and slow it down 
Can't be as complicated as it seems
The heart of me loves yesterday
So pardon me now while I make
My way back to the simple things
