[Verse 1]I've never liked the cityThere’s somethin' 'bout those soundsWill make a young man crazyAnd bring an old man downSo, if you want the countryA simple life will doJust call me Mr. SimpleLivin’ simple with you[Chorus]And we can get back to the basicsLike we were meant to do'Cause there's a thin line with what the world tells youAnd what's really trueWhy complicate it when it's so easy to do?Just call me Mr. Simple, girlLivin' simple with you[Verse 2]Well, I never liked the oceanIt's never been my thingI'll take higher groundAnd you can keep them hurricanesBut if you had a boatSet to sail the ocean blueI’d put on a captain’s hatAnd I'd go sail around with you[Chorus]And we can get back to the basicsLike we were meant to do’Cause there's a thin line with what the world tells youAnd what's really trueWhy complicate it when it's so easy to do?Just call me Mr. Simple, girlLivin’ simple with youThat's the sound[Bridge]A hundred miles to the nearest roadNowhere to be, nowhere to goJust you and me soakin' up that sunset goldDrinkin' that beer, ice-cold (Ice-cold)Always got a hand to hold[Chorus]Yeah, we can get back to the basicsLike we were meant to do'Cause there's a thin line with what the world tells youAnd what's really trueWhy complicate it when it's so easy to do?Just call me Mr. Simple, girlLivin' simple with you[Outro]Call me Mr. Simple'Cause all I wanna be isSimple with you
