One of those standard "son vs. father songs"...
(doesn't every writer have one?)

WHAT MORE COULD I NEED

daddy was a simple man
very simple tastes
never seemed too interested
in joining in the race
i could never fathom why
he didn't long for more
a bigger house, a nicer car
a newer coat than what he wore
we argued over money
we argued over dreams
he never understood me
at least that's how it seemed
i asked "don't you wonder
where other roads might lead?"
he settled in his chair
"son, what more could i need"

(chorus)
   i've got the day god gave me
   laughter fills the air
   i've got my own opinions
   if anyone should care
   i've got a family raised on love
   tho' nothing's guaranteed
   it seems to me i've got it made
   what more could i need

i was not content
to hang in that small town
my dad's simple philosophy
was not about to hold me down
so i took on the world
without much more than a song
determined i would make it
just to prove him wrong
but those other roads led nowhere
the world put up a fight
after many years of wandering
i proved my daddy right
i called to say i've finally come
to understand your simple creed
he said "son, you're always welcome back
what more could you need?"

   repeat chorus

now i live just down the road
from that house so full of love
my life is filled with the simple things
my dad always spoke of
i've got a loving woman
my son's growing like a weed
and when he argues "there most be more"
i'll ask "son, what more could i need?"

   repeat chorus
