Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Mama told me when I was young
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
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 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 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
Boy, 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 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
