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
