LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Simple Man (Live) 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 />

Oh yeah, to be a simple man<br />

<br />

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast<br />

Troubles will come and they will pass<br />

Go find a woman, oh baby, 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 />

Oh, be something you love and understand<br />

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

Oh, 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, oh Lord, is in your soul<br />

And you can do this, oh baby, 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, oh be a simple man<br />

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

Oh, yes, I will, oh, I will be a simple man<br />

<br />

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

Follow your heart, Lord, and nothin' else<br />

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try<br />

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

<br />

Be a simple kind of man<br />

Oh, be something you love and understand<br />

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

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

<br />

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

Oh, be something child, you love and understand<br />

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

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

<br />

Oh, Mama, I will be a simple man<br />

Don't you know? Don't you know?<br />

Lord, I'm doing the best I can
