Simple Man Song Lyrics by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Mama told me when I was young“Come sit beside me, my only sonAnd listen closely to what I sayAnd if you do this it’ll help youSome sunny day”Oh, yeah
Oh, take your time, don’t live too fastTroubles will come and they will passYou’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find loveAnd don’t forget son there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of manOh, be 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 manOh, be 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 manOh, be 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 manOh, be something you love and understandBaby, be a simple kind of man
