My favorite song by this band...
This is a true gem.

Simple Man...by Lynard Skynyrd...

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.
You'll find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget that,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Baby, 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 now 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.
Be something you love and understand.
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.

Don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Baby, be a simple kind of man.
Be a simple man
Be something you love and understand.

I have alot of his cds
I love his songs!!!!!!!!!!!

i love that song but as a man if we are simple you girrls really dont go for us...be honest

thanks Miss V... I needed to be reminded of that....... .......Wild Bill

Someone simple... to me...
meaning someone who is gonna be dependable...

an old fashioned kind of real gentleman '
whose word is his honor..
Who actually means what he says...

and actually does what he said he is going to...
someone who is straight up
real and honest
is where it's at...

Not someone who plays deceitful games.

A song I have played on every May 23rd..for my son...I have had this played on the radio for him since the night he was born..something I want for him to be, a simple kind of man

Thank you for checking in everyone...
