Simple Things Lyrics - It's America - Rodney Atkins

We got the biggest dog you ever saw 

Sprawled on the porch coolin' off down at our place 

His name is Ace 

We got the hummingbirds comin' in 

Hittin' those sugar water feeders and buzzin' off again 

Floatin' in the wind 

Then 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 sweet 

It's puttin' in a hard day's work 

Comin' home and puttin' on a clean T-shirt 

It's friends and family gathering 

A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring 

Yeah, it's the simple things, yeah

I like takin' my boy to the river on Sundays 

Huntin' tadpoles and the Indian .oney 

And I just laugh while his flip flops splash 

And 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 line 

Yeah, it's the simple things that strum my strings 

The baby cries, a mama sings her back to sleep 

Oh, it sounds so sweet 

It's puttin' in a hard day's work 

Coming home and puttin' on a clean T-shirt 

It'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 things 

Photos 

It's feelin' thankful just lookin' at the stars 

It's findin' peace of mind in your own backyard 

Yeah, it's the simple things that strum my strings 

Like big oak trees and tire swings and lemonade 

Ice cold and homemade 

It's puttin' in a hard day's work 

Comin' home and puttin' on a clean T-shirt 

It'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
