i wish things were simple again

Lyrics

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
