Simple Man Lyrics - Singles - Lynard Skynard

My mama told me when I was young 

Said sit beside me my only son 

And listen closely to what I say 

And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day 

Oh, yeah it will 

Oh, take your time, don't live too fast 

Troubles will come and they will pass 

You'll find a woman and you'll find love 

And don't forget that there is a someone up above 

And be a simple kind of man 

And be something you'll love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of man 

Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? 

Then you can 

Don't get your lust from the rich man's gold 

All that you need now is in your soul 

And you can do this, oh baby if you try 

All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied 

And be a simple kind of man 

And be something you'll love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of man 

Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? 

If you can 

Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself 

Follow your heart and nothing else 

And you can do this, oh baby if you try 

All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied 

And be a simple kind of man 

Be something you'll love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of man 

Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? 

So baby be a simple, be a simple man 

Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
