You can offer me a diamond-plated pearl;

You can send me all the riches in the world;

You can tempt me with the palaces of kings;

I'd give 'em back in a big ol' sack and keep the simple things



I've got the simple things; I've got the rain in spring,

Got spicy chicken wings, and French-fried onion rings



You can line me up a mile of limousines;

For me it don't add up to a hill o' beans;

I got no hankerin' for grabbin' your brass ring;

It's crystal clear - I'll stay right here and keep the simple things



I've got the summer breeze, got 16 cans of peas,

A two-speed window fan when it's 93 degrees,

So forgive me for not grabbin' your brass ring; 

It's crystal clear - I'll stay right here and keep the simple things
