I Wish Things Were Simple Again

I wish things were simple like they used to be
When cowboys rode horses and were heroes to me
My Mother was a lady and my Dad was a man
And I wish things were simple again
I wish things were simple like when I was a kid
A man just got paid for the work that he did
A song could be played for a nickel back then
And I wish things were simple again
Not even the blue skies roar with thunder
Men fly above us like birds
Nothin' is simple not even a love song
The story gets lost in the words
But there's no way to rewind, it's gone with the wind
And I wish things were simple again
Not even the blue skies roar with thunder
Men fly above us like birds
Nothin' is simple not even a love song
The story gets lost in the words
There's no way to rewind, it's gone with the wind
And I wish things were simple again
Oh, I wish things were simple again
