Simple Man Live by Shinedown Lyrics
[Spoken Intro]
I hope that in your life, and in your world
I hope the good, will always outweigh the bad in everything you do, and everything that's given to you
Unfortunately that doesn't always occur
See there's this thing, and it's called tragedy, and it has absolutely no mercy for anyone, or anything
During the course of touring, we've played a lot of different cities, lot of different stages, and had the most incredible experiences
And we played some in... with in...with some incredible musicians
But there was this one guy, that we met, and from the very first day that we met him, all he ever did, was treat us like we were one of his own, like we were in his family
Not only did we get to share the stage with him, we were inspired by him, and we called him our friend
And we miss him very much
He was an amazing man, and he was a very loving and extremely generous person, and he was an incredible talent
So this song's called Simple Man, and it's dedicated to our friend, Dimebag Darrell
[Verse 1]
Well Momma told me, when I was young
Said 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
Well, oh yeah it will, yeah it will
[Verse 2]
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 that, there is someone, up above
[Chorus]
And be a simple, kind of man
And 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
[Verse 3]
Forget your lust, for rich man's gold
All that you need now, 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
[Chorus]
And be a simple, kind of man
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, don't you worry, 'cause 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 friends, is to be satisfied
[Chorus]
And be a simple, kind of man
And 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
I hope that in your life, and in your world
I hope the good, will always outweigh the bad in everything you do, and everything that's given to you
