Simple As Dirt

Been like a rollin' wheel in these fertile fields
Since I was five years old
Between then and now, I bet I've pulled this plow
About a million miles or so

I never been nowhere, oh, but I don't care
To me, there's nowhere else to go
And in all and all I am is just who I am
It's complicated as new plowed earth
Simple as dirt

I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did
And my daddy's dad before
And their philosophy was handed down to me
Life is easy as a hard day's work
Simple as dirt

Well, I live my life one day at a time
That's the only way I know
Lord, I've paid my debts and I have no regrets
And I reap the things I sow

And I'll keep pulling weeds and planting seeds
Until I reach the end of the road
But you can lay me down this familiar ground
And on my stone carve just three words
Simple as dirt

I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did
And my daddy's dad before
And their philosophy was handed down to me
Life is easy as a hard day's work
Simple as dirt

Been like a rollin' wheel through these fertile fields
Since I was five years old
