E
Been like a rollin' wheel
           A
In these fertile fields
     D       A          E
Since I was five years old
        E
Between then and now
            A
I bet I've pulled this plow
         D       A        E
About a million miles or so
             E
I have never been nowhere
       A
Oh but I don't care
               D         A       E
To me there is no where else to go
                E
And in all and all I am
          A
Its just who I am
           D           A          D
It's as complicated as new plowed earth
           E
Simple as dirt

[Chorus]
          Dbm                         A
I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did
         A              E
And my daddy's dad before
            Dbm                  A
And their philosophy was handed down to me
             D        A          D
Life is as easy as a hard days work
           E
Simple as dirt

[Verse 2]
         E                  A
Well I live my life one day at a time
            D    A     E
That's the only way I know
                 E                     A
Oh lord I have paid my debts and have no regrets
       D         A       E
And I reap the things I sow
                E                 A
And I'll keep pulling weeds and planting seeds
           D       A          E
Until I reach the end of the road
             E
But you can lay me down
       A
This familiar ground
           D           A           D
And on my stone carve just three words
           E
Simple as dirt

[Chorus]

          Dbm                         A
I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did
         A              E
And my daddy's dad before
            Dbm                  A
And their philosophy was handed down to me
             D        A          D
Life is as easy as a hard days work
           D
Simple as dirt


             E
Been like a rollin' wheel
                A
Through these fertile fields
      D        A        E
Since I was five years old
