Simply Complicated

[Verse 1]

When you find out things about yourself that you hadn't thought to know

When your grandma calls and books you on the Jerry Springer show

And you find out you and your wife of ten years just might be related

Brother, life's not over, it's just simply complicated

[Verse 2]

There's other situations that might challenge you, I guess

When your daughter tries out for the football team and your son tries on her dress

And you start to think that the devil's in charge of how you're situated

Life is still worth livin', it's just simply complicated

[Chorus]

Life is complicated

With its ifs and ands and buts

It's alright to be crazy

Just don't let it drive you nuts

[Verse 3]

My daughter wants to go on dates, I think I'll let her go

But she better not be movin' at the movin' picture show

Or stop by all those honky-tonks and get inebriated

Ain't it all a caution, it's just simply complicated

[Verse 4]

Now I'm havin' a big problem with my present-day career

My ship, she has a rudder, but I don't know where to steer

Am I country, pop, or rock-and-roll, I know they are related

I'll just let you be the judge, it's simply complicated

[Chorus]

Life is complicated

With its ifs and ands and buts

It's alright to be crazy

Just don't let it drive you nuts

[Outro]

Life is complicated

Oh, shit!
