Oh, if you love the life you live, then you'll get a lot more doneBe more inclined to take the reins and turn away and runIt's very rare, it seems to get a lifetime guaranteeSo I suppose self satisfaction be the keyOh, my father is a wealthy, self made manBut his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of landAnd instead he has a family who are his biggest fansThat's something that I one day hope to haveSo I'll cherish the simple thingsThe easy 'Took for granted' thingsLike going round my mum's house for my teaAnd argue with my sister, only God knows how I missed herIt's the simple things that mean the most to meAh, he gets up each day at fiveAnd starts the car and makes the driveAnd shutters up and starts the fryersServes out food to all the buyers in the townAs they stand there in the same old lineAnd get there every day at the same old timeNo, you never hear him grumble and groan'Cause they're the people in the line that he built it onAnd like me he cherished the simple thingsThe easy 'Took for granted' thingsLike going round his mum's house for my teaAnd argue with his sister, only God knows how he missed herIt's the simple things that mean the most to him
