Simple Man Lyrics - Singles - Corbett John

There's a light on in the kitchen, again she's sittin' up 

Crossword's on the table, coffee in the cup 

She finds another word for waiting as he pulls into the drive 

She ain't really all that angry, she's just glad that he's alive 

Now he's standin' at the back door, straightening his hat 

Having looked well for the ky that used to be under the mat 

And she's working on that crossword, fightin' back a smile 

Find another word for sober, let him sit out there a while 

Twenty years of give and take, twenty years of working hard 

Puttin' groceries on the table, plantin' maypoles in the yard 

He is falling of the wagon, but he won't stay down too long 

He'd rather die a thousand deaths than ever do his woman wrong 

Now they're not too much to look at, skins too long in the sun 

But they've weathered well together, and when all is said and done 

It's still two spoons of sugar and carnation in the can 

She says "your coffee's on the table, now get in here you simple man"
