He was a simple man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Living out a simple life
He liked his simple pleasures, yeah, yeah
He liked his simple wife
He drove to work on the freeway
Drove all the way out to Del Mar
One day he planned to buy a home there, yeah
So he would not need to have to drive so far
Just like Dylan's Mister Jones
He worked in corporate accounting, yeah, yeah
He had his own cubicle
He liked his Dunkin Donuts holes, yeah
He liked to keep his coffee mug full
He played the Pixies on his iPhone
He texted his girlfriend on the sly
Sometimes he got a little worried, yeah
What if his wife caught him in this lie
He was simple man, yeah, yeah, yeah
But sometime he got depressed
Not sure what brought it all on, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe he felt repressed
Maybe he should get onto a different path, yeah
Be like a rolling stone
Maybe he should leave behind his dead-end life, yeah
Just like Dylan's Mister Jones
