[Verse 1]
Daddy said, “Son, don’t chase no gold,
The richest man’s the one who holds
A cold beer in the evening sun,
And knows when his day’s work is done.”
He taught me how to fish and pray,
To stand my ground and never stray,
And love this land with all my might,
From the backroads to the city lights.
[Chorus]
🎶 Raise one high for the simple life,
For freedom, love, and starry nights.
For the flag that flies and the friends we keep,
For the dreams we sow and the peace we reap.
Let the guitars ring, let the bonfires burn,
We live, we laugh, and we always learn.
So raise one high, let your spirit run,
In the land of the brave and the home of the sun. 🎶
[Verse 2]
Mama said, “Boy, don’t lose your soul,
No dollar’s worth what your heart knows.”
She sang old hymns and Patsy Cline,
And kept the porch light on each time.
We’d sit and talk ‘til the crickets played,
About love and loss and better days,
And how this country, wild and wide,
Gives every soul a place to strive.
[Chorus]
🎶 Raise one high for the simple life,
For freedom, love, and starry nights.
For the flag that flies and the friends we keep,
For the dreams we sow and the peace we reap.
Let the guitars ring, let the bonfires burn,
We live, we laugh, and we always learn.
So raise one high, let your spirit run,
In the land of the brave and the home of the sun. 🎶
[Verse 3]
I’ve seen the cities, I’ve walked the coast,
But it’s the backwoods I love most.
Where folks still wave and call you “friend,”
And Sunday mornings never end.
We grill out slow, we talk real loud,
We stand up tall, we’re country proud.
And every scar and every mile,
Just adds more truth to this ol’ smile.
[Verse 4]
So here’s to trucks and faded jeans,
To tailgates under moonlit scenes.
To every soldier, every song,
That keeps this country rollin’ strong.
We ain’t perfect, but we try,
We all bleed red, and we reach the sky.
And when I go, just let me be,
A simple man, forever free.
[Final Chorus – Big Anthemic Version]
🎶 Raise one high for the simple life,
For freedom, love, and starry nights.
For the flag that flies and the friends we keep,
For the dreams we sow and the peace we reap.
Let the guitars ring, let the bonfires burn,
We live, we laugh, and we always learn.
So raise one high, let your spirit run,
In the land of the brave and the home of the sun.
Yeah, raise one high… for the simple life. 🎶
