Simple Man - Live Acoustic from Kansas City

[Verse 1]

Well, 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"

Ah, yeah we, yes we

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

And be a simple kind of man

And be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?

Go ahead, take it all home

[Verse 3]

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

'Cause all that I want from you my son is just to be satisfied

[Chorus]

And be a simple kind of man

And be something you love and understand

So baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can

[Bridge]

If you can

If you can

So do it only if you can

Do it only if you can

Do it only if you can, yeah

So do it only if you can

[Verse 4]

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

'Cause all that I want from you, my friend, is just to be satisfied

[Chorus]

And be a simple kind of man

And be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?

[Outro]

So baby, be a simple, be a simple man

And oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?

[Spoken]

Thank you so much

What do we say, one more for the road?
