Story Behind The Song
Just one of my down moods, when I was thinking about how fast the years have went by, how great my children are, but how many things I haven't gotten accomplished. How I had better go ahead with my dream of songwriting and performing because there was nothing saying I would be here tomorrow.
Song Description
A religious theme to the song. It says to do the things in life you want because what we have been given can be taken away just as quicky. Enjoy all the simple things , but don't take life for granted.

Lyrics
SIMPLE LIFE
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE, WAKE UP EVERY DAY, GO TO WORK ON MONDAY AND
FRIDAY GET YOUR PAY
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE, TEACH YOUR CHILDREN RIGHT, TEACH THEM ALL THE
SIMPLE THINGS THEY NEED TO KNOW IN LIFE
IT?S A SIMPLE WORLD, LIVE IT AS YOU MAY, BUT REMEMBER WHAT HE GAVE US HE CAN TAKE AWAY
SO LIVE OUT EVERY DAY THE BEST YOU CAN
DO EVERY THING YOU CAN TO HELP YOUR FELLOW MAN
SOW YOUR WILD OATS AND DO IT WHILE YOU?RE YOUNG
CAUSE TOMORROW MIGHT NEVER COME
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE, LOVE YOUR MOM AND DAD, TELL THEM HOW MUCH YOU CARE AND HOW MUCH YOU ALWAYS HAVE
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE, DON?T WORRY ABOUT THINGS GONE WRONG, TIME WILL HEAL THE HEARTACHES AND LIFE WILL KEEP GOING ON
IT?S A SIMPLE WORLD DON?T BE AFRAID TO KNEEL AND PRAY, REMEMBER WHAT HE GAVE US HE CAN TAKE AWAY
CHORUS
LEAD
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES, THERE?S NOTHIN DOWN IN WRITING THAT SAYS LIFE WILL BE A BREEZE
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE YOU BETTER LIVE OUT ALL YOUR DREAMS, CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW IS GOING TO BRING
CHORUS
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES, THERE?S NOTHIN DOWN IN WRITING THAT SAYS LIFE WILL BE A BREEZE,
IT?S A SIMPLE LIFE YOU BETTER LIVE ALL OUT ALL YOUR DREAMS, CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW IS GOING TO BRING
