Simple Man Lyrics - Singles - Lynrd Skynrd

Mama 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'll help you some sunny day (Oh yeah) 

Oh take your time 

Don't live too fast 

Troubles will come 

And they will pass 

Go find a woman 

And you'll find love 

And don't forget son, there is someone up above 

And be a simple kind of man 

Oh be somethin' you love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of 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 

And you can do this 

If you try 

All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied 

And be a simple kind of man 

Oh be somethin' you love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of man 

Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can? (Oh yes I will) 

Boy don't you worry 

You'll find yourself 

Follow your heart 

And nothing else 

And you can do this, oh babe, if you try 

All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied 

And be a simple kind of man 

Oh be somethin' you love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of man 

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

Baby be a simple, be a simple man 

Oh be somethin' you love and understand...
