[00:11.38]We got the biggest dog you ever saw
[00:14.28]Sprawled on the porch, coolin' off
[00:16.70]Down at our place
[00:19.16]His name is Ace
[00:22.07]We got the hummingbirds comin' in
[00:25.29]Hittin' those sugar water feeders and buzzin' off again
[00:30.00]Floatin' in the wind
[00:32.88]Then the sunset melts into a line of pines
[00:38.86]Life is slow out here but it just suits me fine
[00:43.05]
[00:43.40]It's the simple things that strum my strings
[00:46.41]Baby cries, and momma sings him back to sleep
[00:51.02]Oh it sounds so sweet
[00:54.34]It's puttin' in a hard day's work
[00:57.02]Comin' home and puttin' on a clean t-shirt
[01:02.12]It's friends and family gathering
[01:04.82]A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
[01:09.93]It's the simple things, yeah
[01:12.57]
[01:15.53]It's takin' my boy to the river on Sunday
[01:18.34]Huntin' tadpoles and Indian money
[01:20.96]And I just laugh while his flipflops splash
[01:26.18]Then we spray on the Off! 'cause we don't wan't chiggers
[01:29.13]Baitin' our hooks with chicken livers
[01:31.52]Goin' yellow catfishin'
[01:34.17]A little whisker lick grippin'
[01:36.83]I love it when he says 'Daddy give me five'
[01:41.77]And watchin' him grunt and grin as he's reelin' in
[01:44.72]That flathead on his line
[01:46.96]
[01:47.48]It's the simple things that strum my strings
[01:50.25]Baby cries, and momma sings him back to sleep
[01:54.96]Oh it sounds so sweet
[01:58.26]It's puttin' in a hard day's work
[02:01.04]Comin' home and puttin' on a clean t-shirt
[02:05.51]It's friends and family gathering
[02:08.88]A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
[02:13.21]Yeah it's the simple things
[02:16.91]It's the simple things
[02:18.08]
[02:20.04]It's feelin' thankful
[02:22.05]Just lookin' at the stars
[02:24.80]It's findin' piece of mind
[02:27.43]In your own backyard
[02:31.01]
[02:31.47]Yeah it's the simple things that strum my strings
[02:35.55]Like big oak trees and tire swings and lemonade
[02:40.58]Ice cold and homemade
[02:43.69]It's puttin' in a hard day's work
[02:46.30]Comin' home and puttin' on a clean t-shirt
[02:51.49]It's friends and family gathering
[02:54.16]A neck to hug, a joke to tell and a dish to bring
[02:59.56]It's the simple things
[03:04.13]It's the simple things
[03:06.48]
[03:07.64]That's it
