Lyrics
Cruising downtown we were looking around to meet pretty girls on the main street
We asked if they needed a ride they said  no not tonight but that’s ok our friendship could not be beat

We headed to the nearest bar, we did not care if they played country or rock and roll music
Drinking and dancing all night the mood was always right we’d get drunk just about every week

Simplicity… is how it used to be… 
Today the tax man is after me

Killing time with Paul, hanging at the pool hall throwing quarters in the pinball machine
Playing winner moves on, partnering with John because because we’d wipe the opponent clean

Inviting friends to my place, everyone lived at a snail’s pace drinking homemade wine 
It didn’t matter how late the parties were always great everyone assured of a good time 

Simplicity, is how it used to be...  today I’m paying alimony.

Sundays at the beach, no Karens out to preach, everyone brought beer to the BBQ
Playing beach volley ball, boating was fun for all, there was always something fun to do

Weekends on the Bay or travelling to the U.S.A. to watch a rock concert at the farm
Lighters flickering in the air, we did not have a care everybody danced arm in arm

Simplicity… is how i want it  to be… 
Instead I’m going through bankruptcy

Simplicity… is how i want it  to be… 
Now there’s nobody I want to see

Simplicity… is how i want it to be… now the kids don’t remember me

Simplicity…. Simplicity.

Quite a story and one I can relate to in my own way. 
Although back in my day there was more *** than alcohol.
