Sometimes Simple

That old house was only, six miles from town Seemed like a million miles away Four kids raised up, dirt poor on a farm Only went to town, every other Saturday And my old man he'd park that old ford Across from the Courthouse, in front of the grocery store We could not wait cause he'd buy us all ice cream And he'd say Sometimes Simple can be a good thing Sometimes Simple can be a good thing That's what Daddy always said A little bit of love goes a long long ways We never realized how good it was way back then He'd say don't miss one day without Jesus And don't ever be afraid to dream But you don't have to dream for the big things in life Cause Sometimes Simple can be a good thing I never thought that that I'd ever miss those old times Mama let us sleep out in the yard Daddy would tell stories about spiders and snakes And we'd all end up back on the front porch We loved our games and Daddy loved checkers But little sister would win and we still think Daddy let her Big brother actin' silly, he was always trying to sing Daddy would grin and say Sometimes Simple can be a good thing Sometimes Simple can be a good thing That's what Daddy always said A little bit of love goes a long long ways We never realized how good it was way back then He'd say don't miss one day without Jesus And don't ever be afraid to dream But you don't have to dream for the big things in life Cause Sometimes Simple can be a good thing If I could ever go back, I'd want it just the same Cause Sometimes Simple can be a good thing
