I live a simple life 
Couple of friends I really like 
A little house outside of town 
An old car that gets me around 
Complications may arise 
But I live a simple life 
 
And I live a simple life  
Cell phone when my old car dies 
The Internet to show me where 
GPS to get me there 
Everywhere there s satellites 
Oh I live a simple life 
 
(Chorus)
