Alabama › Lyrics › Simple as That

Out on highway 1, I saw a camper van parked out on the shoulder
Thinkin' they had broken down, I pulled over
There was a little old lady and her old man kickin' back relaxin'
They said "sit down and help us celebrate our golden anniversary"
They had foldin' chairs, they were holdin' hands starin' at the fields
I said "man this ain't no movie, this is real"

Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that

They said "stay awhile", I said "I thought I might and ask some burnin' questions"
Like how'd you make love last so long, they started laughing
He said "to keep our love from danger, I treat her like a stranger"
Courteous, considerate and kind

Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that

So I went home and I said "baby, baby listen"
There's something missin' in our lives
She said " I know, I been tryin' to tell you"
We need more communication, an exotic vacation
Big screen TV, redwood Ja'causezi
Dinners out, concerts and movies
New kitchen, big addition, a pool, jewelry
Sauna, fish pond and a five acre lawn
I said " get in the camper"

Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that

Love should be as simple as that
Love should be as simple as that
