I've never liked the city

There's somethin' 'bout those sounds

Will make a young man crazy

And bring an old man down.

So, if you want the country

A simple life will do

Just call me mr. simple

Livin' simple with you.

And we can get back to the basics

Like we were meant to do

'cause there's a thin line with what the world tells you and

What's really true

Why complicate it when it's so easy to do?

Just call me mr. simple, girl

Livin' simple with you.

Well, I never liked the ocean

It's never been my thing

I'll take higher ground

And you can keep them hurricanes

But if you had a boat

Set to sail the ocean blue

I'd put on a captain's hat

And I'd go sail around with you.

And we can get back to the basics

Like we were meant to do

'cause there's a thin line with what the world tells you and

What's really true

Why complicate it when it's so easy to do?

Just call me mr. simple, girl

Livin' simple with you.

That's the sound.

A hundred miles to the nearest road

Nowhere to be, nowhere to go

Just you and me soakin' up that sunset gold

Drinkin' that beer, ice-cold

Always got a hand to hold.

Yeah, we can get back to the basics

Like we were meant to do

'cause there's a thin line with what the world tells you and

What's really true

Why complicate it when it's so easy to do?

Just call me mr. simple, girl

Livin' simple with you.

Call me mr. simple

'cause all I want to be is

Simple with you.
