Simplicity
I went up to the city and I found someone to love
'til she took all my money and said she had enough
Where the living is fast and nothing seems to last
I can't tell the difference from the present and the past
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
I drank my last dollar and I smoked my last dime
But the harvest is near, dear, and the water is fine
So take me, oh take me, to a world that can't be seen
Where the truth and the lies sit somewhere in between
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
How long is too long 'fore I should catch a ride
To the mountains or the lowlands, a place where I can hide
I saved up my money and I bought a rockin' chair
And I'll rock and roll on my old banjo 'til the frost hits the air
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
'til she took all my money and said she had enough
Where the living is fast and nothing seems to last
I can't tell the difference from the present and the past
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
I drank my last dollar and I smoked my last dime
But the harvest is near, dear, and the water is fine
So take me, oh take me, to a world that can't be seen
Where the truth and the lies sit somewhere in between
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
How long is too long 'fore I should catch a ride
To the mountains or the lowlands, a place where I can hide
I saved up my money and I bought a rockin' chair
And I'll rock and roll on my old banjo 'til the frost hits the air
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
The dancing is free but I've lost my way to see
That this city doesn't belong in simplicity
So I think I'll move along
