Life today is frittered away You've got to simplify Each in our own way we live for today And never know why To stand in the road And feel the wind blow Across the sands of time 'Cause that's the simple life You know I'd like to make it mine Take your cars and your bars And trade 'em all in for a nice wood fire At the end of the day I know you will say You couldn't get much higher To stand in the road And feel the wind blow Across the sands of time 'Cause that's the simple life You know I'd like to make it mine To stand in the road And feel the wind blow Across the sands of time 'Cause that's the simple life You know I'd like to make it mine You know I'd like to make it mine You know I'd like to make it mine
