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 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 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 it's 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'd better not be moving at the moving-picture show
Or stop at all those conky-tonks and get inebriated
Ain't at 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'n'roll, I know they are related
I'll just let you be the judge it's simply complicated
LIfe is complicated with it's ifs and ands and buts
It's alright to be crazy just don't let it drive you nuts
