Been like a rolling wheel in these fertile fields   Since I was five years old   Between then and now I bet I've pulled this plow   About a million miles or so      I have never been nowhere, oh, but I don't care   To me there is no where else to go   And in all and all I am, it's just who I am   It's as complicated as new plowed earth   Simple as dirt      I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did   And my daddy's dad before   And their philosophy was handed down to me   Life is easy as a hard day's work   Simple as dirt      Well, I live my life one day at a time   That's the only way I know   Oh lord, I have paid my debts and I have no regrets   And I reap the things I sow      And I'll keep pulling weeds and planting seeds   Until I reach the end of the road   But you can lay me down this familiar ground   And on my stone carve just three words   Simple as dirt      I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did   And my daddy's dad before   And their philosophy was handed down to me   Life is easy as a hard day's work   Simple as dirt      Been like a rolling wheel through these fertile fields   Since I was five years old
