I got an old coffee mug that my granddad used to own I'm sippin' it slow on the porch and it's good to be home Watchin' the sun come up and a dove on the wing I'm thinkin' while I listen to the mockingbird sing That I sure do love the simple things The best things in life you don't plug in A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind A long kiss, a good ol' memory Keepin' you grounded and makin' you whole Remindin' you you've got a soul Long as I've got a full belly, and a song to sing I'll be thankin' God for the simple things You got an egg in the skillet, I can smell it startin' to fry Hair pulled back in a ponytail outta your eyes Sayin' good morning, I love you, how did you sleep Might as well be poetry I feel it so deep And you, you sure do know how to do those simple things The best things in life, you don't plug in A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind A long kiss, a good ol' memory Keepin' you grounded and makin' you whole Remindin' you you've got a soul Long as I've got a full belly, and a song to sing I'll be thankin' God for the simple things Yeah, you know me Baby I'm a simple man Live 'til I die, Honey that's the plan As long as I've got a full belly, and a song to sing I'll be thankin' God for the simple things Yeah I thank God for the simple things, the simple things Yeah
