[Intro]
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, I'm just tryna live simple
Yeah, I'm just tryna live simple, yeah (Yeah)
Slow it down, mmm, yeah
Slow it down, yeah, yeah
Slow it down
Slow it down, yeah

[Verse]
Been tryna slow it down, I got too much in my head
Know life is short, it burn like a cigarette
I'm scared to love this town, 'cause then I'm never gon' leave (No)
I turned twenty-one, and still, I ain't ever left
Few friends of mine, I could count 'em on my hand
These days of late, I swear, I don't know what to bеlieve

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna live simplе, simple as I can
Buy a house with a piece of land
Couple drinks when the work week end
I'm just tryna live simple, pick away on this old guitar
Take a drive but not too far
Have you layin' here in my arms

[Post-Chorus]
And I hate to say, "I'm wrong"
You know what I meant
Can't open up, I'm not goin to the edge
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me
I wanna write a poem and sit on my picket fence
Feel the world go by and wonder when it's gon' end
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me
[Refrain]
Too simple, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I just wanna live simple
I'm just tryna live, I'm just tryna live

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna live simple, simple as I can
Buy a house with a piece of land
Couple drinks when the work week end
I'm just tryna live simple, pick away on this old guitar
Take a drive but not too far
Have you layin' here in my arms

[Post-Chorus]
And I hate to say, "I'm wrong"
You know what I meant
Can't open up, I'm not goin to the edge
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me
I wanna write a poem and sit on my picket fence
Feel the world go by and wonder when it's gon' end
I'm close enough for me, close enough for me

[Refrain]
Too simple, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I just wanna live simple (Yeah, simple)
I'm just tryna live (Yeah), I'm just tryna live
[Outro]
Been tryna slow it down, I got too much in my head
Know life is short, it burn like a cigarette, oh
I'm close enough, I'm close enough (Too simple)
Yeah, I just wanna live simple
