SINGER: Merle Haggard

SONG: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
and a song could be played for a nickel back then
and i wish things were simple again
But even the blue skies roar with thunder
men fly above 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
Even the blue skies roar with thunder
men fly above 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
