Intro: E A D A E (x2)
E
Been like a rollin' wheel
A
In these fertile fields
D A E
Since I was five years old
E
Between then and now

I bet I've pulled this plow
D A E
About a million miles or so
E
I have never been nowhere

Oh but I don't care
D A E
To me there is no where else to go
E
And in all and all I am
A
Its just who I am
D A D
It's as complicated as new plowed earth
E
Simple as dirt
Dbm A
I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did

And my daddy's dad before
Dbm A
And their philosophy was handed down to me
D A D
Life is as easy as a hard days work
E
Simple as dirt
E A
Well I live my life one day at a time
D A E
That's the only way I know
E A
Oh lord I have paid my debts and have no regrets
D A E
And I reap the things I sow
E A
And I'll keep pulling weeds and planting seeds
D A E
Until I reach the end of the road
E
But you can lay me down
A
This familiar ground
D A D
And on my stone carve just three words
E
Simple as dirt
Dbm A
I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did
A E
And my daddy's dad before
Dbm A
And their philosophy was handed down to me
D A D
Life is as easy as a hard days work

Simple as dirt

Been like a rollin' wheel

Through these fertile fields

Since I was five years old
