A SIMPLE SONG

Someone told me how he went
from Ireland to Fireland,
Someone hitchhiked
from Alaska straight to Nebraska.
But me, I’m here with you,
The only thing that’s true for me, Babe!

Somebody sang ‘bout a drama in Alabama,
Somebody presumed
he might be lucky in Kentucky.
But here, you around,
The only thing that counts for me, Babe!

And I don’t ask how came the salt into the sea,
And I don’t ask how came you to fall
just for me, Babe!

Anyone fly from North Carolina to China,
Anyone live like a hippie in Mississippi.
But here, you around,
The only thing that counts for me, Babe!

Always a simple song can’t do no wrong,
A love so strong I put it into a simple song.
