Being from Iowa as I am, I drive down country roads sometimes and I see a farm in the distance.
I see a barn and a house and a wraparound fortune for me is so well cared for.
And there's a woman hanging laundry out on the line and there are children playing
and there's a man out in the field and he's plowing.
He's plowing with a pair of oxen.
And I think, [N] [Ab] sometimes I really wish [Bbm] that I was Amish.
[Bb]
Sometimes I really wish [Ebm] that I was Amish.
And not so overstressed and sockermamish.
[Bbm] I mean [C] Amish, Amish or else Mennonite, but who the hell can tell the difference?
Life [Bb] would be simple.
I'd [Ab] wear a bonnet and dimple.
I'd have a pony [C] and let him pull my little buggy [Bb] down the gravel roads all happy, peaceful.
Where bees are buzzed [Fm] and I would be first cousin.
And we'd have children [E] by the dozen, which is insane of course, but [Gb] then again [F] uncomplicated.
Sometimes [Ab] I [Bb] really wish that I [Bbm] was Amish.
Sometimes I really wish [Ebm] that I was Amish.
[G] No internet, nothing at all.
Dot com-ish [Gb] when you're Amish.
[B] Amish [Bb] or else Mennonite, but who the hell can tell the difference?
Oh how amazing to be out where the cows are grazing.
[Ab] And while another [C] barn we're raising, we'd have community [Gb] and food.
We [C] grew from our own gardens.
[Fm] Our Amish [Ebm] sect schools would have [Ab] no Jews [Db] or intellectuals.
There'd be no blacks or [C] homosexuals.
Oh Jesus, we [F] exactly are these people wearing little Lincoln outfit.
These perfect little pastries, God they're just so cute.
[Gb] I really [Bm] wish that I was Amish.
Despite [G] it all I wish that I [N] was Amish.
Even if only for a day [Gb] I promise [Bm] I'd be Amish.
[Db] Amish or else Mennonite for a day and then a night.
Then again I think I [Gb] might run screaming from [Bm] the Amish [N] and the Mennonites.
As a songwriter you have to accept all songs unconditionally.
