is what I want for me
Country kind of living

Plain and simple is the way
to write what must be said
for fancy wording does no good
if it cannot be read.
-
Just as plain as yesterday
my thoughts go back again
to the simple way of living
we lived a way back when.
-
Back when everyone we knew
was simple just like us
and we expected other folk
to act like who they was.
-
That country kind of living
as simple as can be
will always be the way of life
that I would want for me.
-
That country kind of living
is simply to be said
but a filling of one's pages
with words that can be read.
