[Verse 1] We wake up slow in our little blue room Sun on the sheet, and flour on the spoon You tie your hair with a red bandana I kiss your cheek and you laugh at the camera The kettle sings, the floorboard swings Bare feet tapping to the tiny things We got less gold, but more to hold Your hand in mine makes the morning bold [Pre-Chorus] And the road can wait Let the world run wild We got a front-step dance And a borrowed smile [Chorus] Simple life, simple love (hold me close) that's enough Simple life, simple love We spin around and thank the sun Simple life, simple love (your name in my mouth) fits like a glove Simple life, simple love That's the one I choose, that's the one [Verse 2] You plant beans in the patch by the fence I fix the hinge with a bent-up wrench We share one chair and a paper plate And make a feast out of beans and fate Your old song drifts from the open door I stomp along on the plank floor No fancy ring, no silver chain Just a good dry roof when the hard rain came [Pre-Chorus] And the town can talk Let them make their noise We got a jar of jam And a pocket of joy [Chorus] Simple life, simple love (hold me close) that's enough Simple life, simple love We spin around and thank the sun Simple life, simple love (your name in my mouth) fits like a glove Simple life, simple love That's the one I choose, that's the one [Bridge] If we ever lose our way Take my hand, don't say a thing We'll follow the smell of bread And the creek bed's silver ring Back to the porch, back to the day Back to the tune we make while we sway Back to you, and back to me Like a river finding the sea [Chorus] Simple life, simple love (hold me close) that's enough Simple life, simple love We spin around and thank the sun Simple life, simple love (your name in my mouth) fits like a glove Simple life, simple love That's the one I choose, that's the one [Outro] Simple life, simple love We got all we need above Simple life, simple love You and me and the morning dove
