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 for 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 footbal 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.

Her stops by all those honky tonks
and getin' aviated
aint it all a caution?
Its 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!
