Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
Been around the whole world, still ain't seen
Nothin' like my neighborhood
And of all of the fancy satin and silk
My white cotton feels so good
Searched high and low for a place
Where I can lay my burdens down
Ain't nothin' in the whole wide world
Like the peace that I have found
[Verse 4]
(Yeah, the little things) Mmm, the little things
And the joy they bring
(The little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring, yeah
[Verse 5]
Simple as a phone call, just to make it known
That you're gonna be a little late
Pure as a kiss on a cheek and a word
That everything will be okay
Call in the mornin' from my little sister
Singin' to me, "Happy Birthday"
Win the quest for fortune and fame
Don't forget about the simple things, yeah
[Verse 6]
(Yeah, the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring, yeah
(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy
[Verse 7]
Give me some good food, give me some cute shoes
Give me some peace of mind
Give me some sunshine, give me some blue sky
[Verse 8]
Runnin' round in circles, lost my focus
Lost sight of my goals
I do this for the love of music
Not for the glitter and gold
Got everything that I prayed for
Even a little more
When I asked to learn humility
This is what I was told
[Verse 9]
(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring, it's the little things
(The little things) It's the little things, oh, yeah
[Verse 10]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 11]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 12]
Give me my guitar, give me a bright star
Give me some good news, give me some cute shoes
Give me Atlanta, give me Savannah
Give me my peace of my mind
[Verse 13]
Give me some Stevie, give me some Donnie
Give me my daddy, give me my mommy
So pour me some sweet tea, spoonful of honey
I don't need no Hollywood
