He lived in the mountains away from mankind

Built something from nothing

Not owing even a dime

He left so much behind

And when I discovered my grandfather's life

My mountains they turned into hills

That I could climb

I found a simple life

I found what I've been missing

Right underneath my chin

And I'll keep my eyes wide open

Letting daylight in

I decided long ago that I'd be more like him

Whether rain the sun the sleet or snow

It's a simple life I'd live

If I was poor or rich or young or old

It all hangs on a string

When my day has come I hope they say

It's the simple life I lived

It's the simple life I lived

I found an old box in the attic one night

His dogtags from wars that he fought

Packed neatly inside

He kept it all inside

The photos and letters revealed so much truth

The folded up flag made me cry

'Cause I never knew

Here's to a simple life

I found what I've been missing

Right underneath my chin

And I'll keep my eyes wide open

Letting daylight in

I decided long ago that I'd be more like him

Whether rain the sun the sleet or snow

It's a simple life I'd live

If I was poor or rich or young or old

It all hangs on a string

When my day has come I hope they say

It's the simple life I lived

It's the simple life I lived

Every time I feel defeat

I'll remember everything

All the words that you taught me'

They'll live on forever

And so I decided long ago

As life starts closing in

I'd raise a glass and toast to all

That it's a simple life you live

I decided long ago that I'd be more like him

Whether rain the sun the sleet or snow

It's a simple life I'd live

If I was poor or rich or young or old

It all hangs on a string

When my day has come I hope they say

It's the simple life I lived

It's the simple life I lived
