[Shinedown - Simple Man lyrics]
(One, two, three)
Well, mama told me when I was young
Said, "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, 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 that there is
A 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 from the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
All that I want from you, my son
Is to be satisfied"
"And be a simple kind of man
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?"
"Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothin' else
And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
All that I want from you, my son
Is to be satisfied"
"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son
If you can? So, baby, be a simple
Be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son
If you can?"
