Simple Man
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Intro : Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say And if you do this It'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah ! Instrumental : Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. And be a simple, kind of man. Oh be something, you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me son, If you can ? Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold All that you need, is in your soul, And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. And be a simple, kind of man. Oh be something, you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me son, If you can ? Instrumental : Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else. And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. And be a simple, kind of man. Oh be something, you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me son, If you can ? Baby be a simple, be a simple man. Oh be something, you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man. (Fade out)
