Simple Man (2003 - Live At Amsouth Amphitheatre, TN)

Mama told me
When I was young
Come sit beside me
My only son
And listen closely, oh baby
To what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day, ah yeah
I'll be your simple man

Oh take your time
Don't live too fast
Troubles will come
Oh and they will pass
Go find a woman, oh baby
And you'll find love
And don't forget son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin' you love and understand
Oh baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can?
(So wavy, Anna)

Forget your lust
For rich man's gold
All that you need
Is in your soul
Oh 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 somethin' you love and understand
Oh baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can?
(Oh yes I will)
I'll be your simple man

Boy don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this, oh babe, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied
(And one more thing)

And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin' you love and understand
Baby be, wooh, be simple man
Oh won't you do this for me child, if you can?
(Let me hear out, people)

Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh be somethin' you love and understand...
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Oh mommy know I will
I'll do all the best I can
