Roy Rogers Lyrics

I have a different take. I see this song as representing a very simple, uncomplicated life, where basic things are appreciated. Being "cozy in your little room" is something many people would be happy with.

@swami7774 I don't think the protagonist is happy.

"oh I'd rather have ham in my sandwich than cheese / but complaining won't do any good"

Things didn't work out the way they hoped, but they don't have the energy to do anything about. They are resigned to a life half-lived.
