WHAT HAPPENED TO SIMPLE
As recorded by Rickey Phipps
(2025 release)
Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
C F C F C
[Verse 1]
C
There was a time folks weighed when they passed.
Em
Didn't drive so fast.
Am
Didn't talk so fast.
F
Coffee on the stove, dog by the door,
G C
And how you been still meant something more.
[Chorus]
C
What happened to simple?
Em
What happened to plain?
Am G F
Back when Sunday mornings washed away the pain.
C
When a man's word held steady
Em
And his heart was true,
Am G F
Didn't need no proof, folks just knew.
C
Now it's all flash,
G
Nnickel and dime symbols.
C
Lord, what happened to simple?
[Verse 2]
C Em
Mama hung clothes on that old backyard line.
Am G F
Talked to God while the breeze unwound her mind.
C Em
Daddy fixed what broke with grease and grit.
Am G F
Said, "Boy, the good Lord helps if you work a bit."
[Chorus]
C
What happened to simple?
