Music and Lyrics by Tom Lawton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw0DElCjUIY Played capo 1st fret in standard tuning. Sun on my shoulders, there's no clouds on my face The waves roll in at such a wonderful pace I'm cool with chillin', I don't need no race I'm gonna relax, lay back, pick a guitar and live the simple life. Now Harri-Jo, she is a friend of mine You'll find her with me most of the time She rolls in meadows and she lays in sunshine And she's the one who taught me to always live the simple life. If you can't hear it then just close your eyes you'll hear the beauty that society hides The singing birds and buzzing bees in hives Oh, what's hidden behind is the secret to the simple life. So if you wanna see what I see Just close your eyes And if you wanna hear what I hear Just quiet your mind And there you will find the simple life So many people trading money in suits They check their labels and they polish their boots They use Ferrari's for a mile commute Oh they're stepping on your dreams and trying to keep you from your simple life. No time for looking, they got no time to see Just how beautiful this world can be They're too concerned with machines and money Oh they're building up a wall between themselves and the simple life. Gimme a call if you're needing a hand Come sit beside me so they you understand Toes in the water, got your ass in the sand Drift away with the breeze, and there you'll find the simple life. So if you wanna see what I see Just close your eyes And if you wanna hear what I hear Just quiet your mind And there you will find the simple life Well life goes by in the blink of an eye And I wish that you could see just where you could be Where you could be So I will walk you hand in hand right through this world of ours... Then you'll let go of me, Run wild and be free, 'cos now you can see, The simple life.
