Ricky Van Shelton - Simple Man lyrics

rate me

I don't know why you wanna start with me

I ain't done nothin' far as I can see

And I'm warn out from working too hard

Why don't you give me a break

I know that lately things ain't been so good

I'll make it up just like I told you I would

But I'm tired and I wanna sit down

To ease a sore backache

You say you're having trouble figuring me

I don't believe I'm such a mystery

Baby what you get is what you see

I am a simple man

I wanna a job and a piece of land

Three squares in my frying pan

Don't seem so hard to me to understand

I am a simple man

You say you got some things to talk about

A lot of problems that we need to work out

But we just end up fighting

Why don't you give it a rest

I don't know what else I can say to you

I'm doing everything I know to do

And I can't give you anything more

When I'm giving my best

You say you're having trouble figuring me

I don't believe I'm such a mystery

Baby what you get is what you see

I am a simple man

I wanna place I can lay my head

Soft woman and a warm bed

A little time off before I'm dead

I'm just a simple man

You say you're having trouble figuring me

I don't believe I'm such a mystery

Baby what you get is what you see

I am a simple man
