How to Live a Simple Life

Oftentimes we let the world pass us by

The years pass us in the blink of an eye

But sometimes the world gives

Us some of the simplest ways to live

Once you decide to live this way

I promise this lifestyle will be here to stay

"But how do I live a simple life?

I love how I live; I'm Lot's wife"

We'll start simple at first

Go to the coffee shop by yourself and quench your thirst

Buy a newspaper there

And read about all of the world's wears

Drive to the bar

And people watch from afar

Listen to the weight of the drunken voices

This is all about the right choices

Curl up with a good book

It doesn't matter: in a nook, 

in a cushy armchair, by a pond 

All that matters is that the book makes your heart grow fond

Take yourself out dancing at midnight

If you're brave enough, dance until you feel as high as a kite

If that seems daunting, just watch the rhythm

Of the bodies as the move like a pendulum

Go to the library and read about something useful

Like how to sew or how to get to Utah

You never know, something might call you there

Check out a book you normally wouldn't; it might just become your new fare

Listen to folk music because it's different and exciting

Let the music swell inside you, warm and inviting

It's best to listen to while driving into the sunset

I promise it's not something you will regret

Take a road trip to nowhere

Sit a moment and breathe in the air

Buy something from a little shop you find

But don't feel too inclined

Oftentimes we let the world pass us by

The years pass us in the blink of an eye

But sometimes the world gives

Us some of the simplest ways to live
