Simple Man

Got a small house on Maple Street where the garden's neat and the grass is sweet
Morning coffee, porch side views
Simple rhythms, weekday Blues
Clock in at 9 at the factory floor
Same old job as the day before
Hands are busy, mind flies free
Dreaming of what could someday be

I'm a simple man with simple dreams
Inside my chest, a quiet scream
A world to see, a life to live
I've got more heart, more soul to give
I'm a simple man with simple ways
Content yet craving brighter days
A bigger stage, a microphone
A standing O
But I let it go

If there's a mountain I should climb
Oceans wide that I should find
My heart races with the wind
Craving paths I've never been
Sunday's peace a gentle sigh
Church bells ring under the sky
Grateful prayers I always send
Yearn for trails that twist but

I'm a simple man with simple dreams
Inside my chest, a quiet scream
A world to see, a life to live
I've got more heart, more soul to give
I'm a simple man with simple ways
Content yet craving brighter days
A bigger stage, a microphone
A standing O
But I let it go

I'm a simple man with a heavy heart
Quiet house, my days' start
Coffee brews, bitter scent
Fill the room with hopes unsent
I'm a simple man with an aching soul
Trapped in a story I never told
A life unspent, a path untread
Holding dreams that are nearly dead

I'm a simple man with simple dreams
Inside my chest, a quiet scream
A world to see, a life to live
I've got more heart, more soul to give
I'm a simple man with simple ways
Content yet craving brighter days
A bigger stage, a microphone
A standing O
But I let it go
