I used to want this so bad, I swore I could taste it
Did anything and everything it took
Took a lot to get where I'm at so I ain't gonna waste it
Damn if it don't feel good
But I miss my mama, and that small town drama
Got what I wanted, but what if I still want

A house on the hill, a horse in the yard
A dog at my feet, just a-pickin' my guitar
The sun going down, supper's on the stove
A hard-working man taking off his dirty work clothes

While I'm livin' the dream

All I'm dreamin' about is
Slowin' down just a little
When I lay there and close my eyes
I'm lookin' for somethin' simple

I don't want out at the bar, I want out on the back porch
Ain't a lick of makeup on, don't wanna wait by the phone
I wanna, can't wait to see ya
When he's already halfway home to

A house on the hill, a horse in the yard
A dog at my feet, just a-pickin' my guitar
The sun going down, supper's on the stove
A hard-working man taking off his dirty work clothes

While I'm livin' the dream
All I'm dreamin' about is
Slowin' down just a little
When I lay there and close my eyes
I'm lookin' for somethin' simple
Oh, I'm lookin' for somethin' simple, oh

Ain't it kinda funny how the prayers you pray tend to change sometimes?
Went from wishin' I was sangin' under big bright lights to wishin'
I was headed home tonight to

A house on the hill, a horse in the yard
A dog at my feet, just a-pickin' my guitar
The sun going down, supper's on the stove
A hard-working man taking off his dirty work clothes

While I'm livin' the dream
All I'm dreamin' about is
Slowin' down just a little
When I lay there and close my eyes
I'm lookin' for somethin' simple

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm lookin' for somethin' simple
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm lookin' for somethin' simple
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
