a simple song

Singer: mayer, john

i don't wanna get in fights on private flights to paradise no more

and i don't wanna suffer fools or sycophants by swimming pools and dance floors

i just want a high that don't end low

a hat to call my home

a bag that won't hold much

and a simple song to sing when i'm alone

i've been kind to angry souls in hopes they wouldn't be so cold and empty

and i don't wanna live off crumbs and wait for love that never comes to get me

i just want a high that don't end low

a hat to call my home

a bag that won't hold much

and a simple song to sing when i'm alone

it might go la la la

la la la

la la la

la la la la la la. yeah

i think i'm gonna leave this town

let a little bit of open road surround me out there

cause you can't be lonely when you stare into that sunny yellow flare

oh yeah

i just want a high that don't end low

a hat to call my home

a bag that won't hold much

a dog who lives the dream

some booze that i can feel

a good day once a week

and a simple song to sing when i'm alone

it might go la la la

la la la

la la la

la la la la la la.
