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
