Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyrics: 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 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 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? 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 Baby be a simple kind of man Oh won't you do this for me son if you can? Baby be a simple, be a simple man.
