I was raised on a farm, where the cornrows grow tall,
With the sunrise each morn', I'd hear Mama call.
We'd toil in the fields, sweat and dirt on our skin,
Simple country life, where it all did begin.
Daddy taught me to fish, in that lazy old stream,
And Granny's old stories, they fed my young dreams.
We'd gather at night, with a fiddle and some songs,
Simple country joy, where the heart belongs.
I'm a simple country boy, with a simple kind of heart,
Where the miles of farmland stretch wide apart.
In the quiet of the night or the dawn’s early glow,
It's the simple things in life that I know.
First love came in the summer, with a girl from the fair,
We'd dance to the moonlight, without a care.
Her laugh was like honey, her smile pure and bright,
Simple country romance, in the soft starry night.
Now I work the same fields, where I once used to play,
With a family beside me, as we start our day.
The land gives us life, just as it did before,
Simple country tradition, it means so much more.
I'm a simple country boy, with a simple kind of heart,
Where the miles of farmland stretch wide apart.
In the quiet of the night or the dawn’s early glow,
It's the simple things in life that I know.
Our missed love came in the summer, with a girl from the fair,
We'd dance to the moonlight, without a care.
Her laugh was like honey, her smile pure and bright,
Simple country romance, in the soft starry night.
I'm a simple country boy, with a simple kind of heart,
Where the miles of farmland stretch wide apart.
In the quiet of the night or the dawn’s early glow,
It's the simple things in life that I know.
It's the simple things in life that I know.
