Simple Man
--Lynyrd Skynyrd

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.

Take your time...
Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

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

Be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this, for me son, if you can

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

Be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this, for me son, if you can
