lyrics

Born into this world in a one street town
Where everything stays the same
The mayor’s daughter fell for the butcher’s son
And took his name

Songs on the radio swept me away
Made me a dream of another life
I couldn’t stay and the only way
Was to leave in the dead of night

But, this town is on the soles of my shoes
Everywhere I go

Chorus Keep it simple
Don’t try so hard
Simple it ain’t that hard to do
Just be true, three chords will do
Keep it simple baby and I’ll listen to you

Crazy nights, the city life
Lifts you up when you’re feeling down
Partied on till my money was gone
Woke up next to some stranger’s wife

but my soul’s on the soles of my shoes
Everywhere I go

Bridge
Packed my guitar and let it
Let it take me
To where I longed to be and that’s how it saved me
Time and time again it brought me home
In the arms of my favorite songs
