Lately things are on my mind

Good news is hard to find

And I work on the factory line

And all I do is stay behind

Call my mama like I should

She says daddy ain't doing too good

Me and him should wet a line

Just can't seem to find the time.

But I love my life

Man it's something to see

It's the kids and the dogs and you and me

It's the way it's alright

When everything goes wrong

It's the sound of a slow simple song.

I finally saved some money up

'til I had to fix my truck

Talked to brother the other day

He didn't have too much to say

Tryna quit these cigarettes

I can't seem to kick em yet

Sister got laid off last fall

And I got high cholesterol.

But I love my life

Man it's something to see

It's the kids and the dogs and you and me

It's the way it's alright

When everything goes wrong

It's the sound of a slow simple song.

But I love my life

Man it's something to see

It's the kids and the dogs and you and me

It's the way it's alright

When everything goes wrong

It's the sound of a slow simple song.
