Been like a rolling wheel in these fertile fields
Since I was five years old
Between then and now I bet I've pulled this plow
About a million miles or soI have never been nowhere, oh, but I don't care
To me there is no where else to go
And in all and all I am, it's just who I am
It's as complicated as new plowed earth
Simple as dirtI love my wife and kids just like my daddy did
And my daddy's dad before
And their philosophy was handed down to me
Life is easy as a hard day's work
Simple as dirtWell, I live my life one day at a time
That's the only way I know
Oh lord, I have paid my debts and I have no regrets
And I reap the things I sowAnd I'll keep pulling weeds and planting seeds
Until I reach the end of the road
But you can lay me down this familiar ground
And on my stone carve just three words
Simple as dirtI love my wife and kids just like my daddy did
And my daddy's dad before
And their philosophy was handed down to me
Life is easy as a hard day's work
Simple as dirtBeen like a rolling wheel through these fertile fields
Since I was five years old
