We started drivin’ up ‘95 from down south

trying to make a new start to our life

We didn’t have much but we had each other

Made it through the days and nights without much

I remember one time all we had to eat

was a Snowball for dinner; Parked in front of that convenience store

You wouldn’t eat it unless I ate half

Simple words mean so much

Like devotion, love, faith and honor

means more than all of the money in the world to me

from all the years that we were together

there was nothing simple about my life with you

but simple words mean so much

y’all meant so much to me

V E R S E

Grandpa and Grandma took a liking to you

but then again, they were simple people

there were tough times, we had it so rough

but your soul and spirit, it was so tough

we moved from place-to-place

‘cause the times weren’t right for us

but they became the center of our lives

they were simple people […]

Simple words mean so much

Like devotion, love, faith and honor

there was nothing simple about my life with you

but simple words mean so much

y’all meant so much to me

Even when the kids were born it was never easy

if it weren’t for simple words and simple people

Life wouldn’t have meant so much;

We’d spend every week with Grandpa and Grandma

Times we’d never forget; we loved them so much —

they were simple people, if it weren’t for simple people

simple words would have no meaning.

V E R S E

Sometimes life may seem so simple — but it’s not,

I look back on all of the times and people in my life,

it’s always simple people, and the simple times

that were the best

simple things can mean so much

from a simple, “thank you,”, “yes sir,” or, “ma’am”

simple things can mean so much

I miss all them simple times spent with y’all.

O U T R O

Simple words mean so much

like devotion, love, faith, and honor

means more than all the money in the world to me

from all of the years that we were together

there was nothing simple about my life with you,

but simple words mean so much

Y’all meant so much to me

Lord, ‘yall mean so much to me.
