G                               D 
I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes 
                    C                   G          G D C G 
Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life 


verse 1 

 G                  D 
Born and raised by God’s good Grace 
       C               D                      G 
In a Texas town where life moves at a slower pace 
            G                      D 
Learned to work with my hands and say “yes ma’am” 
              C                   D         G 
And that’s a part of me that’ll never fade away

             G                               D 
I love the simple life, front porch and my lover’s eyes 
                    C                   G 
Green grass and an open sky, I love a simple life 
                      G                                  D 
Got my guitar and a wailing tune, ringing out under a southern moon 
                   C                     G 
One thing that’s always true, I love a simple life 


verse 2 

         G                 D 
Got the real smoke, good drink in my hand 
         C                         D                 G 
A few friends on the way and it’s sure to be a fine night 
      G                                 D 
The sun’s hangin’ low, and I’ve got a piece in my soul 
       C                        D           G 
And I think to myself God it’s good to be alive
