The song "Simple Life" by Nathan Carter is an ode to living without the constraints of modern society's rat race. It tells the story of a man who is content with the small pleasures in life, such as grabbing a beer from the fridge and strumming his guitar. He takes his time with life and doesn't feel the need to rush, enjoying the fresh warm breeze and the sun beating down on his face. Even when work needs to be done, he doesn't stress about it and knows that tomorrow is another day. The chorus repeats the phrase "that's alright" as a reassurance that the man is happy with his simple life.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the man has found true happiness in living a simple life. He doesn't need the distractions and pressures of the rat race to feel content in his day-to-day activities. Instead, he takes pleasure in the small things and allows himself the luxury of time. The chorus sings, "that's alright" as a statement of both contentment and confidence, suggesting that the man knows what he needs in life to be truly happy.
