Simple Man Lyrics

(Gary Rossington, Ronnie Van Zant)

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

Go find a woman and you'll find love

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

chorus:

"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"

chorus

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 baby, if you try

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

chorus

Baby, be a simple, really simple man

Oh, be something you love and understand
