I Really Love The View From Here

-->

Vs1
We started out with our dreams and plans
Had our tickets stamped for life’s big dance
Our road’s had plenty of twists and turns
Seen mistakes made, shared lessons learned
But when I look at you I see what I hold  dear
And I’ve gotta tell you I really love the view from here

Refrain
Well they can have their big houses and their fancy cars
Drink their chablis, smoke their fine cigars
When they look at me sadly all that they see
Is a simple man they just can't understand
Sittin’ in my rocker on my back porch with you near
Gotta tell you, honey, I really love the view from here

Vs2
You won't see no tuxedos, no elegant gowns
Not much use for all that in our little town
But we look after each other
Neighbors, sisters and brothers
Friends and family that’s what we hold dear
Just gotta say we really love the view from here

Repeat refrain

Bridge
As I look around seems all I see
Is  people chasing luxury
Long as I have you and my loved ones near
I’ll just keep enjoying the view from here

Last refrain
