[Verse 1] The porch creaks soft beneath my feet Got a cold drink that's truly sweet Sun goes down and paints the sky That's the good life, no need to fly [Chorus] Rockin' back, let the day drift by Swatting the flies every time they buzz by Life is sweeter when you slow your pace Keep it simple, find your space Yeah, life is sweeter when you take it slow Just me, this chair, watching time go [Verse 2] My neighbor says I'm wastin' time He runs for cash, I chase this rhyme Got dirt on my hands and stars above That's the wealth that brings real love [Bridge] They talk about success and gold I got peace, worth more untold Crickets sing when the night begins That's the only wealth a man can win [Guitar & Fiddle Solo] [Chorus] Rockin' back, let the day drift by Swatting the flies every time they buzz by Life is sweeter when you slow your pace Keep it simple, find your space Yeah, life is sweeter when you take it slow Just me, this chair, watching time go [Outro] Let the world spin fast and loud I'll stay here, happy and proud Sing my songs, watch the sky go blue This old life suits me through and through [Harmonica Fade Out]
