Simple Man

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'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah! 
Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast, 
Troubles will come and they will pass. 
You'll find a woman, yea yea, 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. 

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. 
Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else. 
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. 
All that I want for you my son, 
Is to be satisfied. 

Baby be a simple, be a simple man. 
Oh be something, you love and understand. 
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
