Out on the porch we'd watch the sun go down
No fancy gadgets just peace in our town
Daddy taught us how to live off the land
Honesty and family hand in hand
Mama's kitchen smelled like love and pie
Evening prayers under a clear night sky
We didn't need much just thankful to be
Living together happy and free
Mama's kitchen smelled like love and pie
Evening prayers under a clear night sky
We didn't need much just thankful to be
Living together happy and free
Back when life was simple no screens to distract
Every word mattered hearts were intact
We worked the fields and shared our meals
Grateful for the simple for what was real
Sundays were sacred a family affair
Hand in hand to church so much love to share
Neighbors were kin lending what you need
A handshake sealed a promise honored indeed
No texts or emails just handwritten notes
A letter from afar kept us afloat
Stories by firelight laughter in the air
A time when life was slow and rare
We'd gather 'round hear Grandpa's old tales
Of love and loss and pioneer trails
He'd strum his guitar eyes full of grace
Those simple nights I can still trace
