The Simple Life Lyrics by Averno

Bittersummer: A New Musical

2020

I know a girl
Turned 25 last spring
Now she's wearing a ring
In a house
On a hill
With one on the way
I know a man
Worked every day of his life
Father of four with a good hearted wife
Who's never missed a sunday morning service
How I wish, I wish I wanted a simple life
How I wish
I wish I wanted a simple life
I could give up all my wandering
And fill a house with pretty things
And never wonder how or when or why
If I wanted a simple life
I know a kid
Finished his college degree
Got a working day job in the city
Wherе he sits
Everyday
Doing the samе damn thing
Down the street
Jenny is closing the bar
Counting her tips from the jar
It's 3am
All alone, she walks home
She sings the song the whole towns singing
It's the only song we know
How I wish, I wish I wanted a simple life
How I wish (How I wish)
I wish I wanted a simple life
I could give up all my wandering
And fill a house with pretty things
And never wonder how or when or why
If I wanted a simple life
It's the song the whole towns singing (If I wanted a simple life)
It's the reason that I'm leaving (If I wanted a simple life)
Just something I could believe in (If I wanted a simple life)
If I wanted a simple life
I know a girl
Ran out of stories to tell
Every night it's a different hotel
On the road two steps behind a simple life
And I try
I'm trying to follow my dreams
Trying to give it all up for the wandering
But here I am
Who am I kidding
When have I ever had a simple life
