Simple Man
by Lynyrd Skynyrd

My mama told me, when I was young.
Said 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 take your time…Don’t live too fast.
Troubles will come, and they will pass.
You’ll find a woman, Oh yah, and you’ll find love.
And don’t forget that there is a 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, from rich man’s gold.
All that you need now, 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.
Oh, don’t you worry…you’ll find yourself.
Follow your heart and nothing else.
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want from you my son,
is to be satisfied.
