My momma 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.
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come, and they will pass.
Well, find a woman, and you'll find love
And don't forget son, there is someone up above.
And be a simple kind of man.
Oh, 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.
Get your lust, the rich man's gold.
All that you need, is in your soul.
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied.
And be a simple kind of man.
Oh, 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.
Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself.
Follow your heart, and nothing else.
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied.
And be a simple kind of man.
Oh, 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.
An baby, be a simple kind of man.
Oh, be something you'll love and understand.. . .

About this song: Simple Man
According to the Simple Man Songfacts, shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother and Gary Rossington's mother died, they got together in Van Zant's apartment and started telling stories about them. Rossington came up with a chord progression, and Van Zant wrote the lyrics based on advice the women had given them over the years. They wrote it in about an hour.
