Saturday song - Week 21

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple man


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 will help you some sunny day" 

"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, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man 
Oh, be something 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, oh baby, if you try 
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied" 

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