LYRICS - SIMPLE THING

Verse 1- Just a regular day
going along my regular way
setting six strings to a beat
taking music to the street
Although I say it's a simple thing
the ability to write and sing
I don't mean to trivialize
just trying not to disquise

CHORUS- It's a simple thing
to have a good time and rhyme
nothing but a simple thing
take a moment and unwind
Some will hear the Pauper
others will hear the King
it's the greatest medicine of all
and it's a simple thing

Verse 2- Life can get tangled
and leave you caught in a web
while Old Uncle Sam's just doing his job
trying to keep the spider fed
As a borrower you're servant
to the lender of the doe
so have some bread and water
and be happy if you know

Verse 3- Take a brake Jake
and don't get so uptight
even 25 watts is better than nothing
if you're talking zero light
Let it go Joe
it’s time for you to chill out
cause fretting and fussing and freaking
isn't what it's all about
Take a pill, Bill, and let Monty make the deal
let it roll Joel, patience gives you soul
Stop saying please Louise
you know it's just a tease
cause deep inside you only think you hide
a complicated plea
