Simple Man - Live from Washington State

[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?

And do it only if you can

[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

Do it only if you can

Do it only if you can

So do it only if you can, yeah

Do it only, do it only if you can

[Spoken]

This is is the last verse and the last chorus

If you'd like, feel free to join us, alright?

[Verse 4]

Oh, don't you worry, 'cause 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 friend, sing it with me, is 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?

[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 very, very much
