I don't believe in fretting and grievin'
我不信仰磨难和悲痛
Why mess around with strife'
为什么混乱会伴随争吵
I never was cut out to step and strut out
我从来没有失去支柱
Give me the simple life
赐予我简单的生活吧
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
有人认为在餐厅吃野鸡很愉快
Those things roll off my knife
把这些东西从我的刀下拿开
Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes
只给我西红柿和马铃薯泥
Give me the simple life
赐予我简单的生活吧
A cottage small if all I'm after
如果我有一个小屋
Not one that's spacious and wide
不用特别宽敞
A house that rings with joy and laughter
一座充满欢声笑语的房子就够了
And the ones you love inside
还有你所爱的人

I like the low road

Free from the care and strife
从畏首畏尾和冲突中解放
Sounds corny and seedy but yes indeed
听起来毫无意义又老生常谈，但好吧，的确如此
