about
Life is easier when you're not trying to keep up with the Jones'. And Simply Livin', the debut single release from Trace The Sidewalk, conveys that message with a catchy chorus, savvy lyrics, and a rockin' groove, delivering a "drive with the top-down", foot-tapping song that will move you from start to finish
Ain't never been the kind to fall
For fashion, fads, or stuff so trivial
Ain't sellin me, with your TV
Don’t tell me how to look or who to be
I got rolled up sleeves and bells on the bottom
Boots so old forgot where I bought ‘em
Guts and guns and glory to God
Zeppelin rockin’ my T-top Firebird
I keep it simple ‘cuz the simples enough
Not like the Joneses, I ain’t trying to keep up
I'm in of the out and out of the in
In of the out and out of the in
Simply livin’
And so is she
Don't need no fancy cars or jewelry
Ain't no makeup, T-shirt and jeans
Burn hotter than a can of gasoline
She got her hair in a cap, no lines on her bottom
Boots so old forgot where she bought ‘em
Kids and dogs and glory to God
For sending me an Angel Devil like her
We keep it simple ‘cuz the simples enough
We'll catch the Joneses when they're sellin’ their stuff
We're in of the out and out of the in
In of the out and out of the in
Through thick and thin
Simply livin’...yeah
If simply livin's just not enough
You're never satisfied
Spend your life just workin' for stuff
But don't forget your time's
Just one tick, on top to the bottom
Scuff your kicks, who cares where you got ‘em
What you give and not what you got
You never really live until you learn how to love
Just keep it simple ‘cuz its simple enough
Call all the Joneses, have a drink, live it up
And step in of the out and out of the in
In of the out and out of the in
Don't need the latest greatest thing of the week
You'll find sometimes in life it simpler to be
In of the out and out of the in
In of the out and out of the in
Simply livin'
