Simple Man
He's a man
Some would say an outlaw
But underneath the surface
A simple man, doing what he can
He goes to work
Early in the morning up with the sun
He's working his fingers to the bone.
He's a workingman, doing what he can
Barely gets by with a roof over his head
Stays with his cousin and a couple of his friends
He doesn't speak the language that we're used to hearing
No, he's a simple man doing the best he can
Who's to blame
Is it the mother looking for a better life
Or looking for a better way
Don't we all dream the same
There may be trouble
Cause he's walking along a fine line
Between freedom and doing time
A desperado with no crime
When the stakes got high he became a gambling man
Nowhere to go and nothing left to loose
He took a chance hoping he would find
He'd find a better place and he'd find a better time
He's got faith stronger than you'll ever know
Take his pride but you'll never take his soul
You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
He's a simple man, doing the best he can
Yea he's got faith stronger than you'll ever know
Take his pride but you can never never never never take his soul
You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can
Yea he's a simple man
You can call him an outlaw
You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can
Doing the best he can
Some would say an outlaw
But underneath the surface
A simple man, doing what he can
He goes to work
Early in the morning up with the sun
He's working his fingers to the bone.
He's a workingman, doing what he can
Barely gets by with a roof over his head
Stays with his cousin and a couple of his friends
He doesn't speak the language that we're used to hearing
No, he's a simple man doing the best he can
Who's to blame
Is it the mother looking for a better life
Or looking for a better way
Don't we all dream the same
There may be trouble
Cause he's walking along a fine line
Between freedom and doing time
A desperado with no crime
When the stakes got high he became a gambling man
Nowhere to go and nothing left to loose
He took a chance hoping he would find
He'd find a better place and he'd find a better time
He's got faith stronger than you'll ever know
Take his pride but you'll never take his soul
You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
He's a simple man, doing the best he can
Yea he's got faith stronger than you'll ever know
Take his pride but you can never never never never take his soul
You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can
Yea he's a simple man
You can call him an outlaw
You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can
Doing the best he can
