Been like a rollin' 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 so I never been nowhere, oh, but I don't care To me, there's nowhere else to go And in all and all I am is just who I am It's complicated as new plowed earth Simple as dirt I 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 dirt ♪ Well, I live my life one day at a time That's the only way I know Lord, I've paid my debts and I have no regrets And I reap the things I sow And 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 dirt I 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 dirt ♪ Been like a rollin' wheel through these fertile fields Since I was five years old
