Simple
Travis Marvin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A good song and you're here
Hot night and cold beer
A woman to put your arm around
A charcoal weekend
New jokes and old friends
Red white and blue country town
The one you had to leave to find out...
Love is for makin
Kids are for raisin
Home is that place in your hearts
Don't overthink it
Don't complicate it
The secrets of life ain't that hard
It's simple

A bird dog and a backyard
Three chords and that guitar
Sunday school, Jesus loves you
A breeze through a screen door
Talk on a front porch
Old man next door tellin you...

Love is for makin
Kids are for raisin
Home is that place in your hearts
Don't overthink it
Don't complicate it
The secrets of life ain't that hard
Yeah it's simple

There'll be ups and downs
Ain't nobody sayin it's easy...

Love is for makin
Kids are for raisin
Home is that place in your hearts
Don't overthink it
Don't complicate it
The secrets of life ain't that hard
It's simple.





Yeah it's simple.

The song talks about a typical weekend that most people would consider perfect: being with someone you love, enjoying cold beer on a hot night, sharing jokes with old friends, and cherishing the moments that make life worth living. The reference to the "red white and blue country town" seems to suggest a sense of patriotism and appreciation for one's roots.


The song reminds us to keep things simple, not to overanalyze things or make them more complicated than they need to be. The verse "Love is for makin, Kids are for raisin, Home is that place in your hearts" is a simple yet powerful statement that emphasizes the importance of family, relationships, and the feeling of belonging that comes from having a home.


The chorus reiterates the message of keeping things simple and not letting life's challenges get in the way of enjoying the little things. There are bound to be ups and downs in life, but the "secrets of life ain't that hard" - they are simple.
