Текст песни Simple Man, Lynyrd Skynyrd

(Gary Rossington - Ronnie VanZant)

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.
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.
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.(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)
