Livin' Off the Land
Embracing Nature's Wisdom: BJ Wilbanks' Ode to Simple Living
Lyrics
Work all day til' I grow tired, cause I don't mind it
Expressing willingness to work tirelessly, finding fulfillment in labor.
Life don't seem much like life, unless you grind it
Life is meaningful only through hard work and dedication.
Way on back, way way on back, living off the land yeah
Reflecting on a time long ago when people lived off the land.
Both bare hands and an aching back, was all they had then
Describing a simple life with only basic tools and physical effort.
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could rewind it
Nostalgically wishing to go back to the past and relive it.
To that simple way of life, how grandma described it
Yearning for a simpler life as remembered or described by a grandmother.
Yeah!
An enthusiastic expression, possibly indicating agreement or affirmation.
Good hard work fuels the mind, it makes you feel worth something
Highlighting the value of hard work in providing a sense of purpose.
You get what you give, and if you're taking child, take only what you need
Advocating for a balanced approach to taking only what is necessary.
All you've got is your good name, you make the bed you lay in
Emphasizing the importance of reputation and personal responsibility.
If you ain't got something nice to say, then don't say nothing
Suggesting the wisdom of avoiding negative speech if it serves no purpose.
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could realize that
Expressing a desire for awareness and appreciation of the current state of life.
We are living in paradise, how nature designed it
Acknowledging the beauty of the present, shaped by natural design.
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could rewind it
Reiterating the wish to return to a simpler life, echoing earlier sentiments.
To that simple way of life, how grandma described it
Reinforcing the nostalgia for a straightforward life, as remembered from the past.
Hey!
Another enthusiastic expression, possibly indicating agreement or affirmation.
There's beauty in all honest things, the magic's in the making
Recognizing beauty in honesty and emphasizing the magic of creation.
If you want a better life then change, your way of living
Encouraging a positive change in lifestyle for a better life.
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could rewind it
Repeating the desire to revisit a simpler life, maintaining a consistent theme.
To that simple way of life, how grandma described it
Reiterating the longing for a life as described by a grandmother.
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could realize that
Expressing a wish for a collective realization of the paradise inherent in nature.
We are living in paradise, how nature designed it
Affirming the belief that the current state of existence is a paradise, as designed by nature.
