Music Monday: Lynyrd Skynyrd "Simple Man"


Mama told me when I was youngCome sit beside me, my only sonAnd listen closely to what I sayAnd if you do this it'll help you some sunny day

Oh, take your time don't live too fastTroubles will come and they will passGo find a woman you'll find loveAnd don't forget son there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of manBe something you love and understandBaby be a simple kind of manOh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's goldAll that you need is in your soulAnd you can do this, oh baby, if you tryAll that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of manBe something you love and understandBaby be a simple kind of manOh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will

Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourselfFollow your heart and nothing elseAnd you can do this, oh baby, if you tryAll that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of manBe something you love and understandBaby be a simple kind of manOh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

Baby be a simple, be a simple manBe something you love and understandBaby be a simple kind of man
