I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife?

A heart that rings with joy and laughter
With the ones you love inside
You take the high road, I'll take the low road
Free from the care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy
Give me the simple life
Cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the one you love inside
You take the high road, I'll take the low road
Free from all care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy
Give me the simple
