We got the biggest dog you ever saw 
Sprawled on the porch coolin' off 
Down at our place, 
His name is Ace 
We got the humming birds comin in 
Hittin those sugar water feeders 
Then buzzin off again 
Floatin in the wind 
Then the sunset melts into a line of pines 
Yeah life is slow out here, 
But it sure suits me fine 
[Chorus] 
Cause it's the simple things that strum my strings 
The baby crys the moma sings her back to sleep 
Ohh it sounds so sweet 
Its puttin in a hard days work, 
Comin home and puttin on a clean Tshirt 
It's a friends and family gathering 
A neck to hug a joke to tell and a dish to bring 
Yeah it's the simple things 
Yeah 
Like takin my boy to the river on Sundays 
Huntin Tadpoles and Indian money 
And I just laugh, 
While is flipflops splash 
Then we spray em off cause we don't want chiggers 
Baitin our hooks with chicken liver 
Goin yellow cat fishin 
A little whisker lip rippin 
I love it when he says daddy give me five 
And watchin him grunt and grin while hes reelin in 
That flat head on his line 
[Chorus] 
It's the simple things that strum my strings 
The baby crys the moma sings her back to sleep 
Ohh it sounds so sweet 
Its puttin in a hard days work, 
Comin home and puttin on a clean Tshirt 
It's a friends and family gathering 
A neck to hug a joke to tell and a dish to bring 
Yeahh it's the simple things, 
It's the simple things 
Its feelin thankful just lookin at the stars 
Its finding peace of mind in your own backyard 
Yeahhh it's the simple things that strum my strings 
Like big oak trees, tire swings, and lemonade, 
Ice cold and homemade 
Its puttin in a hard days work, 
Comin home and puttin on a clean Tshirt 
It's a friends and family gathering 
A neck to hug a joke to tell and a dish to bring 
It's the simple things 
Mmm 
It's the simple things 
That's it.
