Simple Days, Hard Times (Rock) - HotPotMusic

I been down, been broke, felt like a joker,
Life kicked me hard but I’m still stayin’ sober.
Chasin' dreams, big lights, but they ain't what they seem,
Got lost in the game, but I found my own peace.
I don't need no riches, I don't need no fame,
A cold beer, a sunset, yeah, that’s my kinda game.
I worked the dirt, made my sweat worth the fight,
Now I’m livin’ simple, baby, under the moonlight.

I ain’t askin’ for the world, just a little time,
Some clean air, some good friends, and a simple rhyme.
Life's been rough, but I found my way through,
Yeah, sometimes the best things come from what you’ve been through.

Hard times, but I’m smilin’ wide,
Found my pleasure where the simple things collide.
Ain't no gold or a mansion in my sight,
But I got peace, yeah, I got that tonight.
Give me the dirt roads and the old backyards,
I’ll take a simple life, it’s hittin' real hard.
Hard times tried to break me, but I stand tall,
Found joy in the little things, that's my all.

The world’s runnin’ fast, but I ain’t in the race,
Found my rhythm in the silence, in this slow-paced space.
Yeah, I still struggle, but it don’t take my soul,
I got my family, my guitar, and a place to call home.
Throwin’ rocks by the river, watch the ripples grow,
Kickin’ back with my boys, that’s all I need to know.
Ain’t no high-rise view or a penthouse suite,
Just a porch, a cold drink, life’s simple and sweet.

I ain’t askin’ for the world, just a little time,
Some clean air, some good friends, and a simple rhyme.
Life's been rough, but I found my way through,
Yeah, sometimes the best things come from what you’ve been through.

Hard times, but I’m smilin’ wide,
Found my pleasure where the simple things collide.
Ain’t no gold or a mansion in my sight,
But I got peace, yeah, I got that tonight.
Give me the dirt roads and the old backyards,
I’ll take a simple life, it’s hittin' real hard.
Hard times tried to break me, but I stand tall,
Found joy in the little things, that's my all.

Yeah, life’s a bumpy ride, but I hold on tight,
You can keep your fast cars, I’ll take the firelight.
Gravel roads and a slower pace,
I’m diggin’ through the hard times, findin’ my grace.

Hard times, but I’m smilin’ wide,
Found my pleasure where the simple things collide.
Ain’t no gold or a mansion in my sight,
But I got peace, yeah, I got that tonight.
Give me the dirt roads and the old backyards,
I’ll take a simple life, it’s hittin' real hard.
Hard times tried to break me, but I stand tall,
Found joy in the little things, that's my all.

Hard times, they come, but they don’t last long,
I found the rhythm, now I’m singin’ my song.
So I’ll keep rollin’, keep my heart on fire,
‘Cause simple days are what I truly desire.
