I saw her sitting in a fancy restaurant downtown
So I went to say hello and she asked me to sit down
We talked about the old days and it brought tears to her eyes
She once was a love of mine and it hurt to see her cry
She said be careful what you wish for, it just might come your way
Success is just a word that the rich folks like to say
I'd love to hear the rain on the roof, while layin' in the hay
Or Stop in at the general store and listen to what the old folks say
She said I miss my mom and dad and life back on the farm
I miss my friends and I miss the feel of your lovin' arms
But I wanted more and now you know, I have everything
But I'd trade it all for a country song, and grandma's homemade bread
She said be careful what you wish for, it just might come your way
Success is just a word that the rich folks like to say
I'd love to hear the rain on the roof, while layin' in the hay
Or Stop in at the general store and listen to what the old folks say
Success is just a word that the rich folks like to say
It's the simple things that matter, that's what the old folks say
I'd love to hear the rain on the roof, while layin' in the hay
Or Stop in at the general store and listen to what the old folks say
