I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes
C G G D C G
Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life
[Verse 1]

Born and raised by God’s good Grace

In a Texas town where life moves at a slower pace

Learned to work with my hands and say “yes ma’am”
C D G
And that’s a part of me that’ll never fade away
[Chorus]
G D
I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes

Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life
G D
Got my guitar and a wailing tune, ringing out under a southern moon
C G
One thing that’s always true, I love a simple life
[Verse 2]
G D
Got the real smoke, good drink in my hand
C D G
A few friends on the way and it’s sure to be a fine night
G D
The sun’s hangin’ low, and I’ve got a piece in my soul
C D G
And I think to myself God it’s good to be alive
[Chorus]
G D
I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes

Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life

Got my guitar and a wailing tune, ringing out under a southern moon

One thing that’s always true, I love a simple life
