A Simple Way of Life is a collaboration between David James and Pamela Davidson. Produced by Dave Scarboro. Vocals and instruments performed by Dave Scarboro.
My friend Pamela Davidson asked me if I would like to do a collaboration on some lyrics. I broke out the Yamaha 12 string and worked up some chords, and a melody.

I work eight hours; earning an honest pay
I don?t need to be fancy; I love the simple way
I can relax in the evening; my worries fade into the night
When I get up in the morning; I feel everything is alright
Chorus:
Who needs a mansion when that old shack is mine
Who needs a Cadillac when my Chevy truck is so fine
With my three kids, my house, and my loving wife
I?m just a cowboy; living a simple way of life
I can do without the city life; I have my own land
Far out in the country is where I take my stand
I don?t need a lot of money; I know it can?t buy me love
I lead the kind of life that fits me like a hand in a glove
Chorus
I don?t want them stylish clothes; I don?t need no 3 piece suits
I like my blue jeans and my old worn-out boots,
You can have your fancy way, and I?ll just keep mine
It?s the simple way of life that puts me on cloud nine
Chorus
A simple way of life
