lyrics

I’m sticking to the simple things in life
Gonna pack up my troubles now and smile
Tear down complication put my two feet on the ground
My cup runneth over cause I use a smaller one

I had a job in a hospital with all the benefits
Gave it up to have some fun and earn my tax free tips
Please don’t get me wrong no one thing’s better than the rest
But I’m a whole lot happier with a whole lot less

I could learn all that technology read all those magazines
Save my Shoppers Drug Mart points and buy some girly things
But I’m happy with my 6-string I have a favourite pen
If you can keep it simple there’s nothing left to win

I used to wake up early shaking with the thought
Of everything I had to do before 12 o’clock
Spending way too much time pleasing everyone
Now I got nothing to do today but I’m having way more fun
