Simple Things Lyrics


We got the biggest dog you ever saw
Sprawled on the porch coolin' off down at our place
His name is AceWe got the hummingbirds comin' in
Hittin' those sugar water feeders and buzzin' off again
Floatin' in the windThen the sunset melts into a line of clouds
Well, life is slow out here but it sure suits me fine'Cause it's the simple things that strum my strings
The baby cries, a mama sings her back to sleep
Oh, it sounds so sweetIt's puttin' in a hard day's work
Comin' home and puttin' on a clean T-shirtIt's friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
Yeah, it's the simple things, yeahI like takin' my boy to the river on Sundays
Huntin' tadpoles and the Indian .oney
And I just laugh while his flip flops splashAnd we spray on the off 'cause we don't want chiggers
Baitin' our hooks with chicken livers
Goin' yellow cat fishin', a little whisker lip rippin'I love it when he says, "Daddy give me five"
And watching him grunt and grin
While he's reelin' in that flathead on his lineYeah, it's the simple things that strum my strings
The baby cries, a mama sings her back to sleep

Oh, it sounds so sweetIt's puttin' in a hard day's work
Coming home and puttin' on a clean T-shirtIt's friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
Yeah, it's the simple things, it's the simple thingsIt's feelin' thankful just lookin' at the stars
It's findin' peace of mind in your own backyardYeah, it's the simple things that strum my strings
Like big oak trees and tire swings and lemonade
Ice cold and homemadeIt's puttin' in a hard day's work
Comin' home and puttin' on a clean T-shirtIt's friends and family gathering
A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
It's the simple things, it's the simple things
That's it

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Rodney Atkins, born March 28, 1969 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American country singer. He was an adopted child. As an infant at the Holston Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, Tennessee, he was so sick that two couples who had taken him home returned him just a few days later. A third couple from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, adopted him as well and, even though his ailments worsened, refused to give him up. His adoptive mother had been raised in a coal mining family near a tannery camp, and his dad survived an upbringing marked by poverty and episodes of abuse. Rodney is married and has a 4-year-old son named Elijah, who is featured in the video for Rodney's song "Watching You". While his career had a bit of a slow start, he subsequently achieved success with his first #1 hit (If You're Going Through Hell) and the fast climbing follow-up single (Watching You).

Songfacts.com reports that he lead-off single from Rodney Atkins' fourth album, titled Take A Back Road, finds the singer looking to leave the stress of the city. It was released on April 26, 2011.
