- Carolyn Dawn Johnson - "Simple Life"
(Troy Verges, Hillary Lindsay and Aimee Mayo)
Da da da da. Da da da da.
I have wandered this world far and wide.
I've been all around to the other side.
But there's nothin' like comin' home.
Nothin' like comin' home.
I wanna sit on my front porch and drink my lemonade.
Cut my grass after church every Sunday.
And go out Saturday night;
Live the simple life.
Wake up in the morning to these fields of gold,
And take a long walk down a gravel road.
Spend my days in the sweet sunshine.
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow.
Know that I'll always have someone to hold.
Oh, I wanna live the simple life, yeah.
Da da da da. Da da da da.
I wanna take a blanket down to the creek,
And let the water sing me to sleep.
Let go of time.
Live the simple life, oh yeah.
Lately I've seen too many city lights.
I wanna go somewhere where I can see the stars at night.
Spend my days in the sweet sunshine.
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow.
Know that I'll always have someone to hold.
Oh, I wanna live the simple life, yeah, yeah.
Instrumental break.
Spend my days in the sweet sunshine.
Rock in my swing and watch my babies grow.
Know that I'll always have some, someone to hold.
Oh, spend my days in the sweet sunshine.
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow.
Know that I'll always have someone to hold.
Oh, I wanna live the simple life,
I wanna live the simple life, yeah.
Da da da da. Da da da da.
- Carolyn Dawn Johnson - "Die Of A Broken Heart"
(Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Shaye Smith)
I keep having these disturbing dreams:
My final days, the end of me.
For some odd reason, I get one last wish,
And every time, I wish for this:
Take me fast or take me slow.
I don't really care how I go.
In the daylight or in the dark,
Just don't let me die of a broken heart.
The kind of pain that you just can't take,
Will send a strong man to his grave.
There's not a pill that can give you a rest,
Or fill that hole deep in your chest.
So, take me fast or take me slow.
I don't really care how I go.
In the daylight or in the dark,
Just don't let me die of a broken heart.
No.
(Yeah, yeah.
(Yeah, Yeah.)
I've been crushed by that hurt before.
There's no way I could take any more.
If I fell in love, and I found out it would happen again,
I'd say take me now.
And take me fast or take me slow.
I don't really care how I go.
In the daylight or in the dark,
Just don't let me die of a broken heart.
Take me fast or take me slow.
I don't really care how I go.
In the daylight or in the dark,
Just don't let me die of a broken heart.
No, don't let me die of a broken heart.
No.
