Your mama doesn’t want you to feel hurt anymore. She’s also has long forgiven you of anything you still carry in your heart as things you’ve taken her for granted for. Trust me on that. No need to even think about it. Like this song says, be a simple man and be satisfied. Find that quiet voice in your heart, spend a moment there and just give yourself peace. You are worth it.

so true. I am a huge fan of ACDC, but no one ever will reach Ronnie singing THIS song. Free bird is better - as a performance, but that is because of the guitars, but the best song with the best message ever - Simple man. All men should live their life following this message. It is so good, i start to cry to listen to it. And i normally NEVER do that. They were so good. that they could get such a replacement (in the family) is still amazing. Ronnie does it a bit better, but nobody on this planet could reach him with his own written song.

this was my husband's favorite song it was played at his funeral in2009 I will always think of him every time it is played.

I'm 55, frenchman. Guitarist, fan of good southern rock and more of this, I have deep respect for the south culture, but this s not my subject here. None of us will never love our mother as she deserve. When God realized he couldn't be eveywhere and fix all of the pains, he created the Mother. God bless all the mothers around the world.

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 You'll find a woman, yeah, 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 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, oh, baby, 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 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, baby, 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 love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?

He lived a simple life, and changed the world doing it. We should all be so lucky. When possible, live a simple life. Walk a straighter line, and set the example for the next generation.

Yes mate, probably because mobile phones and the internet hadn’t been invented.

Mama's advice still resonates today - and I'm pushing 60. Heard this in my youth, and realized my Mom would have have said, if she's had those words. She's been gone 40 years; Mom #2 doesn't say it - but she lives it. As I try to everyday...

I've been listening since the late 70's and I am here in 2019 listening.

Our son just got married. Played this song at his wedding for his dance with his mom. A lot of wisdom in these words.

My mom died when I was 25, I'm almost 55 now, and I imagine this is her words to me from the grave. She never said these words to me, but it makes me closer to her. That and Let It Be. She died from cancer like Paul McCartnley's mom. God Bless Lynyrd Skynryd for this song, and so many others they gave us ! They are jamming in Heaven, and I know my mom is tapping her foot to their music.

not entirely comfortable with the singer, preferred the original

I got married for the last time in 2011 and my son and I danced to this song, because my son requested the DJ to play this just for him and me. This is the only song my son and I ever danced to. He was about 40 years old at the time. This song has always had a special space in my heart since the 70s when my son was a toddler. He didn't realize what this song had always meant to me, but somehow he knew this was mother/son song. And he got it! I had tears in my eyes the whole time we danced to this song! Love my son even more. This song has an even more special meaning. Have goose bumps even now! "Let there be Lynyrd!"

I dedicate this song to my baby boy Ryan who tragically died July 1, 2022. I miss you so much my son!💜

This was my uncle's favorite song. The night after he passed away I went to the kitchen for some food and heard my dad listening to it and singing very quietly and he never sings or anything. Still the saddest thing I've ever seen.

My grandpa passes form cancer and all he would do is sit outside and listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd with his wife. i love that man.

I love this message in the song. At a time when everyone seems to strive to be someone they're not and impress strangers this resonates. You won't be remembered for the things you've accrued in life but how you've treat people.

My Mother raised me as a single parent. She was put on earth to cook my meals and clean my bedroom. Thats what I thought when I was a teenager. She died while I was in basic training. I am now 50 yrs. old and every kid I encounter I preach to them about NOT to make the same mistake I did. A young man is there to take care of his Mother, not vice-versa.

i echo your comment to the "T"! i will always remember when i first heard of the 1987 reunion tour & even at only 16 having a feeling inside of things being put right. LS will forever, for me, personify the American rags to riches, good ol boys achieving epic stardom & fame, with a bittersweet twist that Hollywood could never hope to duplicate.

I'm Canadian and this is my favorite song , I support America and all the 6k people who dislike can not be American or even Canadian for that matter.

What is "disabled"? No one man is disabled, everyone can do what others can't. Stevie Wonder wrote plenty very good songs but couldn'see the paper he "wrote " it on. Many "abled" persons can even play a piano.

They used to play on Friday mornings at my high school, Duncan U. Fletcher for breakfast club. 50 cents for coffee and doughnuts. It was all of us long haired surfers and hippies sitting on the floor digging the music, and the clickers and jocks dancings. Started at 7 and went to 8am. they never played anything but the songs off the "Pronounced" album

Lynyrd Skynyrd never did a bad song...they all meant something. They STILL mean something. I am a child of the 70's (am almost 60 now) and everything still resonates. No music out there these days that means the same.

You don't know how fortunate you are!

Like Heather, this song reminds me of my Son. He is descent, moral and a great friend. 4 years ago I introduced this song to him and told him that it's written for him. No complexity, just him.... He immediately liked it and now he plays it on his guitar. It is a simple pleasure for a father to see him translate it into his repertoire.

It is the SIMPLE MAN who is most enlightened!!!! Don't forget there is SOMEONE UP ABOVE!!!! All that YOU need is LOVE and to remember that YOU are a Divine soul!!! ~❤~ xo I love YOU in the name of Lord Jesus Christ!

My favorite song of Skynard, up there with Tuesday's Gone! Music used to have so many messages that I actually learned vital lessons from. I wish the same was more of a norm today than fleeting but meaningful moments. There are exceptions as exampled, having learned from a fresh, new performer named Stephanie. Her passion for the lost, the downtrodden and the addicted touches my soul to its very core. She actually makes one GaGa, and I jsut learned how she came upon that name- Freddie had something to do with it! Just think , if Skynard had still been in its original line up. the magic that would have been made. Thanks for sharing!

+Trevor Yeo You, sir, are a young man of impeccable taste. Time will tell if "everyone else", and their kids, are listening to Nicki and the others years from now. Lynyrd Skynyrd have stood the test of time pleasing the young as well as the old. They are one of those bands where it seems like nobody has heard of them because nobody can name a song of theirs. But play a hit song they had and people recognize it. The Seger family is a perfect example. Nobody knows Pete Seger but only because nobody pays attention to kid song writer's names, but nearly everyone has heard his work somewhere along the line. You would think his brother would have had more success being a household name, since nearly everyone has heard "I Like That Old Time Rock and Roll," "Like a Rock," or even "Turn the Page" though most people think that last one was written by Metallica. Oh yeah and one more thing, check out "Fall of the Peacemakers" by Molly Hatchet. It has amazing lyrics, in my opinion, and they are another one of those southern rock bands from Lynyrd's time that most people don't know about.

All that you need is in your soul.

The original lead singer, Ronnie Van Zant, was killed in a plane crash back in 1977 along with guitarist Steve Gaines, backup singer Cassie Gaines and their road manager. The band has been fronted by his younger brother Johnny (in video) since they reformed in 1987. Most of the footage shows the past members of the band who have passed on. Unfortunately since this DVD was released in 2003, Ean Evans (the bassist) Hughie Thommasson (guy with white guitar) and Billy Powell the pianist have all died as well. It's the Skynyrd curse....

It was like, God knew what was going to happen and made Johnny, to replace his big brother, when we lost him! BOTH brothers, have vocals, like no one has ever been able to touch, in decades, that are like ghosts of each others vocals! Lynyrd Skynyrd, is 1 of THE top bands, of rock & roll, in my book!
