lynyrd skynyrd - Simple Man
lyrics
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'll help you some sunny day (Oh yeah)
Oh take your time
Don't live too fast
Troubles will come
And they will pass
Go 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 somethin' you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Forget your lust
For 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 somethin' you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can? (Oh yes I will)
Boy don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this, oh babe, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin' you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh be somethin' you love and understand...

This was my dad's favorite song. I got my first guitar just to learn it for him when I was 13. He passed away what feels like yesterday (July 20th, 2017) but I still play and practice this song till today for him.

I gave my son a copy of this song when he turned 13. Life went on, he graduated, went to college, joined the military. He got married at 30. It came time for the mother/son dance and this is the song that started. He said he listened to this song all his growing up years because it meant a lot to him. I never knew he listened to it other than the day I gave it to him.

@@timmy8435dam my dad died 34 years ago in 94 when I was 14.5 he just turned 32 yrs old n I thought that was old now I'm 44 n I died at 32 but the electric paddles brought me back after a drunk truck driver hit me , my brother died from a truck driver while on his bike going from Florida to Massachusetts n my other brother just died last year by a truck hitting him in Spain as he was traveling back from France through Spain to get to Portugal n my dad died in a terrible car wreck at 32 years old , he just turned 32 ,2.5 months before that n I got killed but brought back 2.5 months after I turned 32 which did my head in n I was convinced I would die wen my kid was a freshman in HS in January just like it happened to me n I couldn't shake that feeling lil did I know I was carrying some bastard cells in me that turned on me , did you know the doctor told me every minute of every day 1,000 cells change n it only takes one cell to be cancer n it's like an exponential rise n the only real best bet is to catch it early dont just go to one doctor or two n make sure they don't know each other cuz it' s like a fraternity with them n same with certain types of dentists , buvking got a legal license to sell you drugs that barely help n never cures unless its a anibiotic or a vacvine thats been properly tested , this aint a small pox im talking about, we all suffered chicken pox wen they had the vscvine but waited about 30 years vuz thats the average to see if the vaccine was safe

One of the best song ever written. So true as well.
Recently, the one who was my companion for over 3 years left me for a life of foolish adventures. I still feel a lot of pain; I am so emotionally hurt that sometimes it becomes something physical. I asked God for an answer, and I stumbled upon this song completely by chance. I didn't make a mistake; she did. My wounds are deep, but I will recover. If you're going through something like this, do as in the song-love, and you will understand. Be kind and follow your heart; everything you need is in your spirit.

I haven’t heard this song in 10 or so years. I got chills from the intro. What a masterpiece
Still crying to this song in 2024. I miss you dad 😭🥺💔
Our son. I miss him so very much
My sister DeLynn Reed lost her first born son a couple of years ago. She hasn't been the same since. I wasn't able to make it to his memorial service, I arrived a long while later at my sister's house on her "Rez" to visit her and see her little girls. Naturally, I do my best to do what I can for her when I'm there, like tending to her home etc. So, before I start to tidy up her living room, I have to put some music on, and for some reason I felt like blasting this song while I did my thing. I played it loud and before I knew it, my sister came out from her room and just kinda stared at me while the song was playing. I thought she was gonna tell me to turn it down, but she didn't. I think at that moment, she probably received some sort of confirmation about her son's spirit around her. Why? Well, this very song I was playing, was the song played at her son's funeral. For the record, we hadn't even touched the surface or even mentioned anything about his death yet. Ironic? Maybe. However, I believe spirits are real and they make their way back to those who are still hurting or mourning them when they were on Earth. They come and show you they're there through music and signs and all sorts of ways that people are able to recognize and feel em again. It was a beautiful moment and now a good memory for me to write about now. Rest In Peace, Dustin. You are never forgotten and always missed. Love you DeLynn Reed, walk softly. Your sister, Jackie
Better to be simple,then complicated. When we got hear, failure to get complicated again and again in the end....

This was one of my Old Friend favorite song, he told me a story, not really sure how it went but what I can remember is ~( His mom Dedicated this song to him when he was young, He told me that his Dad one night came home drunk and started arguing with his mom,he started to beat up his mom that ended up taking her life away. My friend and his siblings witnessed everything and till this day his dad is still in Prison. ) I hear this Song and it reminds me of my Old Friend and the life he went thru as a kid.
