The Simple Things

I got an old coffee mug that my granddad used to own

I’m sippin’ it slow on the porch and it’s good to be home

Watchin’ the sun come up and a dove on the wing

I’m thinkin’ while I

listen to the mockingbird sing

That I sure do love the simple things

The best things in life you don’t plug in

A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind

A long kiss, a good ol’ memory

Keepin’ you grounded and makin’ you whole

Remindin’ you you’ve got a sou

l

Long as I’ve got a full belly, and a song to sing

I’ll be thankin’ God for the simple things

You got an egg in the skillet, I can smell it startin’ to fry

Hair pulled back in a ponytail outta your eyes

Sayin’ good morning, I love you, how did you sleep

M

ight as well be poetry I feel it so deep

And you, you sure do know how to do those simple things

The best things in life, you don’t plug in

A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind

A long kiss, a good ol’ memory

Keepin’ you grounded and makin’ you whole

Remindin’ you you’ve got a soul

Long as I’ve got a full belly, and a song to sing

I’ll be thankin’ God for the simple things

Yeah, you know me Baby I’m a simple man

Live ‘til I die, Honey that’s the plan

As long as I’ve got a full belly, and a song to sing

I’ll be thankin’ God for the simple things

Yeah

I thank God for the simple things, the simple things

Yeah
