	Uptempo country song based around a 12-string acoustic guitar riff. Some people are happy with the 9 to 5 routine day after day after day. This song says that you can have that kind of life if you want it, but I'm going for the gusto. I want more out of life than the daily grind...No simple life for me.

	Story Behind the Song Songwriter Mark Greenawalt wrote the first draft of the lyrics to this song during his lunch break while working at Luke Air Force Base in Phoenix, Arizona. Stranger still was the fact that he was writing this song in the back of his pick-up truck in 105 degree sunshine. The lyrics relate to the difference between adventure seekers and the totally conservative. Neither understands how the other could live "that kind of life". By the way, adventure seekers have more fun! Lyrics To work by eight, work some overtime Read the paper, in bed by nine Nothing ever changes caught in routine Leaves me restless for a change of scene You can take your simple life If that's what sets you free But there's a world outside your television It's there for you to see You can take your simple life It doesn't work for me I'm gonna live life to the fullest No simple life for me Oooh! No simple life, for me Slaving for wages then put it all away Save your pennies for a rainy day You serve a sentence behind a picket fence And think of freedom in the future tense You can take your simple life If that's what sets you free But there's a world beyond your bank account It's there for you to see You can take your simple life It doesn't work for me I'm gonna live life to the fullest No simple life for me Oooh! No simple life, for me
