Simply Complicated Songtext

von Jimmy Buffett

One, two, three...

When you find out things about yourself
That you hadn't ought to know
When your grandma calls and books you
On the Jerry Springer Show
And you find out you and your wife of 10 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 living
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 conchy tonks and get inebriated
Ain't it all a caution, it's just simply complicated.

Now I'm having 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
So 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
No shit!
