Westberg - Simple Lyrics

In my younger days
I had a lot of things to say
And I'd do it all the hard way
Didn't care if it was complicated
Didn't care if I was compensated
Things were simpler then
I had couple difficult friends
But I put 'em on the right track
Let 'em know that I had their back
Then get smashed like maniacs
Gettin' older, guess I'm measuring my words
Dumb shit starts to get on my nerves
And I swear I ain't complaining but it sounds like so much work

You could take the high road
Or the path less travelled
I won't try and stop you
Baby choose your battles
I won't trouble my mind
I won't trouble my mind
Trying to draw the line
Between complicated and simple

Drinking in the dive with Mike
Waiting out the sun for a summertime night
He'd say "I would be so glad if you bought another natty ice"
I'd pay the tab with a pick-up line
Lord knows I've tried
Took a lot of tears and lies
Trying to make it add up
Making trouble, trying to call it love
Dreaming bigger than the both of us
I got wise and I cut my teeth
Took a pinch of hard truth to make a bad bitch of me
And I can see 'em coming, saying things you could barely believe

You could take the high road (Keep it simple)
Or the path less travelled (Keep it simple)
I won't try and stop you (Keep it simple)
Baby choose your battles (Keep it simple)
I won't trouble my mind
I won't trouble my mind
Trying to draw the line
Between complicated and simple

You could take the high road (Just keep it simple)
Or the path less travelled (Just keep it simple)
I won't try and stop you (If you keep it simple)
Baby choose your battles (And keep it simple)
I won't trouble my mind
I won't trouble my mind
Trying to draw the line
Between complicated and simple
