Simple Man

Lynyrd Skynyrd


My momma told me, when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say
And if you do this, it will help you some sunny day

Take your time, don’t live too fast
Troubles will come, and then they’ll pass
If you find a woman, you’ll find love
And don’t forget son, there is someone up above

Chorus
   And be a simple kind of man
   Be something you love and understand
   Baby, be a simple. Be a simple man
   Oh, won’t you do this, for me son, if you can

Forget your lust, for the rich man’s gold
All that you need, is in your soul
You can do this, Oh Baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental

Oh don’t you worry, you’ll find yourself
Follow your heart, Lord, and nothing else
You can do this, Oh Baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied

Repeat Chorus    2x
