Simple Man (Acoustic Version)
You can take a boy out of the field
But that don't make him clean
You've made my life easier, baby
But that don't make it any less obscene
Just 'cause you're acting so nice
Don't mean you'll get a thing from me
Don't throw your pennies in the wishing well
Cause what you get, is what you see
Lord, I'm a simple man
Ain't too much I need
Well, I ain't askin for all of your love
Give me what ya can
And set me free
You screamed and cried all night long
Lord, you're killing me
I never meant to put you down
And never gave you any reason to grieve
Sometimes when I feel so boxed in
I wanna go and take a ride
Grabbed the keys and my cigarettes
And disappeared into the night
Lord I'm a simple man
Ain't too much I need
I ain't askin' for all of your love
Gimme what you can
And set me free
Lord c'mon set me free
You lead this old horse to a bar
And you can buy me a drink
You lead me just about anywhere
Sometimes I'm just too tired to think
Never took anything from you
That I couldn't return twice
Never understand how I never
Listen to my own advice
Lord, I'm a simple man
Ain't too much I need
Well, I ain't askin for all of your love
Give me what ya can
And set me free
I ain't askin' for all of your love
I ain't askin' for all your love
I ain't askin' for all of your love
Give me what you can
And set me free
But that don't make him clean
You've made my life easier, baby
But that don't make it any less obscene
Just 'cause you're acting so nice
Don't mean you'll get a thing from me
Don't throw your pennies in the wishing well
Cause what you get, is what you see
Lord, I'm a simple man
Ain't too much I need
Well, I ain't askin for all of your love
Give me what ya can
And set me free
You screamed and cried all night long
Lord, you're killing me
I never meant to put you down
And never gave you any reason to grieve
Sometimes when I feel so boxed in
I wanna go and take a ride
Grabbed the keys and my cigarettes
And disappeared into the night
Lord I'm a simple man
Ain't too much I need
I ain't askin' for all of your love
Gimme what you can
And set me free
Lord c'mon set me free
You lead this old horse to a bar
And you can buy me a drink
You lead me just about anywhere
Sometimes I'm just too tired to think
Never took anything from you
That I couldn't return twice
Never understand how I never
Listen to my own advice
Lord, I'm a simple man
Ain't too much I need
Well, I ain't askin for all of your love
Give me what ya can
And set me free
I ain't askin' for all of your love
I ain't askin' for all your love
I ain't askin' for all of your love
Give me what you can
And set me free
