SHINEDOWN


Simple Man Lyrics

My mama told me when I was young
Said sit beside me my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
Oh, yeah it will

Oh, 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 a someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Then you can

Don't get your lust from 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 from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
If you can

Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
So baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

I recently danced with my son, at his wedding, to this song. A memory I will hold in my heart forever. I am truly so proud of my son and the man he is today.

SHINEDOWN did absolutely amazing with this song, definitely better than the original, but props to Lynyrd Skynyrd for creating it t begin with.

I have been a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan from their first album. This song is what every man should strive for in life.I have always said this is my song and I live by its meaning. Simplicity is what we need!

Ron, just curious, how can you say with such certainty what Skynard hoped to achieve from their success? Is it absurd to think they might've WANTED to be rich, buy mansions, or even, buy a NEW PLANE?!

This song was my son's life. Played at his Eagle Scout awards, and again at his funeral. He would have been 23. Life is to short. Live it full and make it meaningful. God rest, my son.

My son Marcus has listened to Simple Man everyday for years. He had a brain injury and this song has helped him be the good man he has become. His music helped him relearn his words. Gave him hope!
