Take my hand
Lead me up into the promise land
I will follow you but I’m no man for
Trophies pageants and big band stands

I make myself a little bit smaller and I’m
Comfortable as a flower on the wall
I know that you want to be remembered
I don’t want to spend my whole life

Dancing for peanuts on a Sunday night
Building a legacy to leave behind
I’m just happy with the simple life

Ooh I’m simple and you are complicated
And what we need is a life we can agree on
Ooh I’m easy and you are difficult
And it’s been so hard to find a life we can
Agree on

I numb my face
Hide my treasures and I tolerate
Social graces and I drop my gaze
A politician in a rebel state

I don’t want to spend my whole life
Dancing for peanuts on a Sunday night
Building a legacy to leave behind
I just want to live a simple life

And when I sleep at night
I see us on a porch all old and grey
We reminisce all night and hold each other
Like our younger days
Ooh I’m easy and you are difficult
And it’s been so hard to find a life we can agree on
