Simply Complicated

When you find out things about yourself that you hadn't thought to know
When your grandma calls and books you on the Jerry Springer show
And you find out you and your wife of ten years just might be related
Brother, life's not over, it's just simply complicated

There's other situations that might challenge you, I guess
When your daughter tries out for the football team and your son tries on her dress
And you start to think that the devil's in charge of how you're situated
Life is still worth livin', it's just simply complicated

Life is complicated
With its ifs and ands and buts
It's alright to be crazy
Just don't let it drive you nuts

My daughter wants to go on dates, I think I'll let her go
But she better not be movin' at the movin' picture show
Or stop by all those honky-tonks and get inebriated
Ain't it all a caution, it's just simply complicated

Now I'm havin' a big problem with my present-day career
My ship, she has a rudder, but I don't know where to steer
Am I country, pop, or rock-and-roll, I know they are related
I'll just let you be the judge, it's simply complicated

Life is complicated
With its ifs and ands and buts
It's alright to be crazy
Just don't let it drive you nuts

Life is complicated
Oh, shit!
