Simple As Dirt

Been like a rolling wheel in these fertile fields



Since I was five years old



Between then and now I bet I've pulled this plow



About a million miles or so



I have never been nowhere, oh, but I don't care



To me there is no where else to go



And in all and all I am, it's just who I am



It's as complicated as new plowed earth



Simple as dirt



I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did



And my daddy's dad before



And their philosophy was handed down to me



Life is easy as a hard day's work



Simple as dirt



Well, I live my life one day at a time



That's the only way I know



Oh lord, I have paid my debts and I have no regrets



And I reap the things I sow



And I'll keep pulling weeds and planting seeds



Until I reach the end of the road



But you can lay me down this familiar ground



And on my stone carve just three words



Simple as dirt



I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did



And my daddy's dad before



And their philosophy was handed down to me



Life is easy as a hard day's work



Simple as dirt



Been like a rolling wheel through these fertile fields



Since I was five years old
