Give Me The Simple Life
From his med school graduation
And from waiting all her life
I was my parents first child
From May on a Friday night
Hide-and-Seek in pots and pans
Sisters times two to come
As I look back on my memories
This is where I'm from
This is where I'm from
The military and new houses
Months lost for army trips
From rosaries and first communion
From baking cookies and Santa's list
From out cocker spaniel puppies
Onto greyhounds and a cat
From Jackie- the jack russell
From my brothers baseball hats
From Spice Girls and boy bands
And talk to the hand
From all those years at Girl Scout camp
And road trips to places you've never been
Australia and New Zealand
Marked the highlight of highschool days
Yet from calories and obsession
Is where my brain would always stay
From hysterical laughter
To my first beer
From singing in choir
To passing out- full of fear
From Catholic Campus Ministries
Onto college and making friends
From the memories that will last
Until I return home again
