A Simple Life Lyrics

Lately my life has been going okay

And the songs I used to write

Don't ring quite the same

There's nothing left to talk about with my pain

I used to have stage fright

Now the lights feel great

I'd give anything to feel sad for a moment

If you sing the note, I promise I'll hold it

So please, give me something to sing about

Anything to feel like myself for a minute

Please, something different to talk about

I wanna be great, cause I'm in it to win it

These songs I write are like a smile

I used to walk the walk, now I can't walk a mile

In my old shoes, they don't fit quite as nice

Cause I traded the sad decent songs for a simple life

Most of the time I try to remember

The haunting memories

Of a lonely December

Something to pick at that might light a spark

So when pen hits the paper

I'll have something dark

Is this because of all the people Graceland helped?

I don't wanna put another album on the shelf

So please, give me something to sing about

Anything to feel like myself for a minute

Please, something different to talk about

I wanna be great, cause I'm in it to win it

These songs I write are like a smile

I used to walk the walk, now I can't walk a mile

In my old shoes, they don't fit quite as nice

Cause I traded the sad decent songs for a simple life

Meet my every desire

Set my heart on fire

I'm sick of walking around

When things are feeling okay

I just wanna be a quitter

Sell me to the highest bidder

Everything was better

When the pages were torn and frayed

Lately my life has been going okay

And the songs I used to write

Don't ring quite the same

There's nothing left to talk about with my pain

I used to have stage fright

Now the lights feel great

So please, give me something to sing about

Anything to feel like myself for a minute

Please, something different to talk about

I wanna be great, cause I'm in it to win it

These songs I write are like a smile

I used to walk the walk, now I can't walk a mile

In my old shoes, they don't fit quite as nice

Cause I traded the sad decent songs for a simple life

Yeah, I traded the sad decent songs for a simple life
