Simple As Dirt Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

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 so 

I 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 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 

Oh lord, I have 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 rolling wheel through these fertile fields 

Since I was five years old
