Funny how it seems that I must travel
And park in towns with roadside dinners
And farmers who watch satellite TV

Nebraska town, I met a lady
Her name is Marge and she sells antiques
And she says, " It's lovely weather"
But I think that she just wants to talk to me

I believe, it is simple to be

Let's go out and drive together
We'll drive and drive and we'll drive all night
Spit sunflower seeds out the window
And sing the best songs from the Jacksons 5

I believe, it is simple just being free

I've been across this country about half dozen times
I've seen it all, heck I've been there before
I've hiked on the back lands and seen the corner palace
And when we were good, we stopped at a prarie dog town

Now I know it's simple because I've seen it my eyes have seen the glory
Of American magnificents and so divine
I've read all about its people, who built this steady nation
Creating what could very possibly me mine

I believe it is so simple to be free, I believe, I believe
I believe it is, I know it is simple to be and I believe it is simple
I believe it is, I know it is, I've seen it for my own self
I believe it is and I believe it is and I believe it is and I believe it is

And I believe and I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe it is
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I believe it is so simple to be

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe it is so very simple to be free, I believe it is

Funny how it seems that I must travel
And park in towns with roadside dinners
