LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Simple Man (Original Version) lyrics

rate me

Mama told me when I was young<br />

Come sit beside me, my only son<br />

And listen closely to what I say<br />

And if you do this, it'll help you some sunny day<br />

<br />

Be a simple man<br />

<br />

Take your time, don't live too fast<br />

Troubles will come and they will pass<br />

Go find your woman and you'll find love<br />

And don't forget, son, there is someone up above<br />

<br />

And be a simple kind of man<br />

Be something you love and understand<br />

Baby, be a simple, be a simple man<br />

Won't you do this for me, son, if you can?<br />

<br />

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold<br />

All that you need is in your soul<br />

And you can do this if you try<br />

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied<br />

<br />

And be a simple, be a simple man<br />

Be something you love and understand<br />

Baby, be a simple kind of man<br />

Won't you do this for me, son, if you can?<br />

<br />

Yes, I will<br />

<br />

Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself<br />

Follow your heart and nothin' else<br />

And you can do this if you try<br />

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied<br />

<br />

And be a simple kind of man<br />

Be something you love and understand<br />

Baby, be a simple kind of man<br />

Won't you do this for me, son, if you can?<br />

Baby, be a simple kind of man
