John Mayer
A Simple Song
(Verse)
I don’t want to get in fights on private flights to paradise, no more
And I don’t wanna suffer fools and syncophants by swimming pools and dance floors

(Chorus)
I just want a high that don’t end low
A hat to call my home
A bag that won’t hold much
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone

Ohhhh

(Verse)
I’ve been kind to angry souls in hopes they wouldn’t be so cold and empty
And I don’t wanna live off crumbs and wait for love that never comes to get me

(Chorus)
I just want a high that don’t end low
A hat to call my home
A bag that won’t hold much
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone
And it might go, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (x2)

Ooooooooooh (x2)

(Verse)
Yeah I think I’m gonna leave this town, let a little bit of open road surround me out there
Cause you can’t be lonely when you stare into that sunny yellow flare, oh yeah
(Chorus)
I just want a high that don’t end low
A hat to call my home
A bag that won’t hold much
A dog who lives the dream
Some booze that I can feel
A good day once a week
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone
And it might go la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (x2)
