[Chorus: D. Thrash]
I try to live a simple life
Ol' dirt roads and no street lights
But my mind tries to take me away
Like there's more out there for me
I've always kept it in between the lines
And never left what I've known behind
This ol' farm just ain't the same
'Cause this is me and I'll never change

[Verse 1: Dez]
You know I'll be honest, I gotta forever look into changin'
Sorta content with my situation
Even when it's cold and rainin' I'm feelin' warm on the inside
And I know there's more to get
But I really can't even imagine wantin' anything more than this
I see my sons in the backyard playin' havin' fun
I'm glad the world is off my shoulders man it weighed a ton
And now I can concentrate on livin' the simple life
Enjoy my time on this earth feelin' good with minimal strife
In the middle of the night lookin' out the window
While I sit and stare at the southern sky
And I'm thinkin' about my life and so I'm askin' God why
Why did he bless me with so much when I pretty much didn't deserve it
I was an emergent punk kid a little bit nervous now I'm swervin'
Started divertin' 'cause I was searchin' for an outlet all though I heard it
Flirtin' with disaster that guy was about to pull a curtain
Divertin' it wasn't right
And I know that it wasn't really owed to me
But I'm feelin' good and I'm livin' right
And I know that's really how it's supposed to be

[Chorus: D. Thrash]
I try to live a simple life
Ol' dirt roads and no street lights
But my mind tries to take me away
Like there's more out there for me
I've always kept it in between the lines
And never left what I've known behind
This ol' farm just ain't the same
'Cause this is me and I'll never change

[Verse 2: Dez]
You see my family is keepin' my sanity randomly handin' me amnesty
For all this calamity and then the profanity how can they be so understandin' man this is fantasy
I'll take them over any material thing handily, but this canopy that I try to be got a little of them little holes in the fabric
But what do I expect when I live every minute of my life tryin' to act like a Maverick (yeah)
Yeah I want these worldly possessions, what can I say I'm human (uh huh)
But it gets to a point when it ain't really worth perusin' 'cause reviewin' and undoin' everything that you ruin
Like canoein' up the creek without a paddle all the who 'n what 'n where 'n when 'n why
And he got this so why am I ain't got a dollar to my name even though I try that's no lie
But all you can do is stay consistent while persistent
Life is short buddy don't miss it if it's only but a visit
What is it about this life that you think the grass is greener
It ain't worth it if it's gonna really mess up your demeanor
Naw

[Chorus: D. Thrash]
I try to live a simple life
Ol' dirt roads and no street lights
But my mind tries to take me away
Like there's more out there for me
I've always kept it in between the lines
And never left what I've known behind
This ol' farm just ain't the same
'Cause this is me and I'll never change
