Life Could Be so Simple

It was a cloudy day
Stuck in a traffic jam
Swamped on a busy street
Noise feeling like a clam
Already on the edge
A steamer on the rise
The driver smiles at me
And says
Life could be so simple
Taking the day away
Making time for some loving
Put your song on replay
Watching an old-time movie
Follow the clouds go by
And drift in the sky
Things'll never fit 'to place
If you stay so uptight
Just drop off your pretense
To make them right
So when you get a bad day
And things turn to the worst
Remember his words
Life could be so simple
Taking the day away
Making time for some loving
Put your song on replay
Watching an old-time movie
Follow the clouds go by
And drift in the sky
Life could be so simple
Taking the day away
Making time for some loving
Put your song on replay
Watching an old-time movie
Or just the clouds go by
And drift in the sky
