Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd

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 will help you some sunny day"
"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, 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"
Baby, be a simple, really simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand...

I have always loved this song. It never gets old. I grew up in the 70's so I was blessed to see them in concert with the original members. There will never be another Skynyrd, they were one of a kind. They left us with so much amazing music to enjoy and cherish forever. I will always love Freebird and many songs from Skynyrd.

[@sharonreitzel9264]

Where and what year did you see them? We saw them in September, 1974, in Charlotte, NC . I got married in December, 1977, but the 2 most vivid memories were October 20th, 1977, when the plane went down. And August 17, 1977 when I heard the breakthrough on news when Elvis died.

[@deborahmullins6239]

I saw the original band 1977 at Freedom Hall Civic Center Johnson City Tennessee. My brothers Jimmy n Bud their good friend James his little brother Timmy and they played Simple man. Years later 1983 i had my only son Jay he died in o6 Many times i bragged to him about seeing them in concert

[@clydehinman7810]

If your like me, a gen x 54 yr old, then I want you to know that as a kid I never really paid much attention to this song. But now it hits me like a good sermon from a preacher who tells you what you need to hear and not want you want to hear. It moves me. It scrambles hope in with acceptance of past mistakes. It gives me peace. If you get a chance listen to "Between a Laugh and a Tear" by John Cougar Mellencamp off his Rain on the Scarecrow album. You won't be disappointed i promise you. May God bless you.

When I finally did there was a folder labeled mom, this one song.. still cry every time I hear it as a 45 year old man. Gave her the grandchildren she always wanted a few years later. She obviously never got to meet them but she's with them. My daughter is named after her. She has her middle name for her first name & first for her middle.

Мне мать однажды, когда был юн, Присядь поближе, сказала, сын, Послушай, что я скажу тебе, Мне если внемлишь, То избежишь тем много бед. Не торопись жить быстро, мчась, Несчастья, боль придут, не плачь, Найди девчонку, влюбись, будь рад, Не забывай, сын, кто-то есть там, в небесах. Будь человеком ты простым, Собою будь и будешь ты любим! Сын, будь человеком ты простым, О, сделай это для меня, добр будь сын. Забудь, сын, страсть к богатству тож, Тебе, что нужно, в душе найдёшь, Ты сможешь сделать так, только осознай, Всё, что хочу тебе, мой сын, Чтоб ты был счастлив, знай! Будь человеком ты простым, Собою будь и будешь ты любим! Сын, будь человеком ты простым, О, сделай это для меня, добр будь сын. Сын мой, не бойся, найди себя, За сердцем следуй своим всегда, Ты сможешь сделать так, только осознай, Всё, что хочу тебе, мой сын, Чтоб ты был счастлив, знай! Будь человеком ты простым, Сделай это для меня, добр будь сын, Сын, будь человеком ты простым, О, сделай это для меня, добр будь сын…
