Skrewdriver - Simple Man Lyrics

My mother 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 now, don't live too fast
Troubles will come, and troubles will pass
Go find a woman, and you'll find love
And don't forget son, there's someone up above

[Chorus:]

And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something, yeah, you love and understand
And be a simple, yeah, kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can

Forget the lust now, for rich man's gold
All that you need is, is in your soul
And you can do this son, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied

But 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
