Alabama

Out on Highway 1, I saw a camper van
parked out on the shoulder
Thinkin' they had broken down, I pulled over
There was a little old lady and her old man
kickin' back relaxin'
They said, "Sit down and help us
celebrate our golden anniversary"
They had foldin' chairs, they were holdin' hands
starin' at the fields
I said, "Man this ain't no movie, this is real"

Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands
and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that

They said, "Stay awhile", I siad, "I thought I might
and ask some burnin' questions
Like how'd you make love last so long"
they started laughing
He said, "To keep our love from danger,
I treat her like a stranger
Courteous, considerate and kind"

Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands
and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that

So I went home and I said, "Baby, baby listen"
There is something missin' in our lives
She said, "I know, I been tryin' to tell you
We need more communication, an exotic vacation
Big screen tv, redwood jacuzzi
Dinners out, concerts and movies
New kitchen, big addition, a pool, jewelry
Sauna, fish pond and a five acre lawn"
I said, "Get in the camper"

Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands
and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that

Love should be as simple as that
Love should be as simple as that...
