Just Be

He was sitting on his front porch
Singin' about a dirt road
Sippin' his cherry wine
He said "Tay, this never gets old"
And I'm gonna tell you why
It's called a simple life
So unwind your mind and give it a try

Back in Southern California
Running in a rat race
I can't get no real love
Oh, I need a slower pace
So I ain't going back there
Oh, that's a bed I made
So I'll sip on some of what he's got
And call it a day

Sometimes, we get so caught up
In what it takes to be free
Mining for the few things that we can't
Buy with money
I'm picking up your message
What your laying down for me
The key to being happy is to just be
The key to being happy is to just be

Lately, we forget that we've got all the control
If we can still teach our minds how to free our soul
When every day is a choice
And I know it ain't an easy one
But we can't be stronger together if we all run

Sometimes, we get so caught up
In what it takes to be free
Mining for the few things that we can't
Buy with money
And I'm picking up your message
What you're laying down for me
The key to being happy is to just be
The key to being happy is to just be

Lately, we forget we got all the control
If we can still teach our minds how to feed our soul
When every day is a choice
And I know it ain't an easy one
But we can't be stronger together if we all run

'Cause sometimes, we get so caught up
In what it takes to be free
Mining for the few things that we can't
Buy with money
And I'm picking up your message
What you're laying down for me
The key to being happy is to just be
The key to being happy is to just be, yeah
The key to being happy is to just be
