Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

[ricnedie95]

this is my song as as mother to my son

[rachelydg]

Been listening to this song on repeat all day... ^.^

[tundraman217]

I have a project in English where we have to find a song that describes us. I'm bringing in this one. It's due tomorrow, wish me luck.

[hyphymanjenkins]

@tundraman217 I hope you failed

[MrDamntrax]

this song is mean to get blazed to

[isredWilde]

Dedicated this to my song to my son @ his high school grad party!!

[71bigcountry71]

awesome song<3 anybody have tabs for WHOLE song not just intro

[1234roadking1]

if just all the corporate assholes out there would have lived by these words

[FastPonyGT]

@1234roadking1 You can add the greedy politicians to the mix as well. They're fat cats as well.

[nike1866]

Gosh no matter what is on your mind this song just clears it, and I love it so, so, so much..

[ninja3684]

this to me is a really good song it makes sense...i am trying so hard at it...i really am...i try to make everyone around me happy and smile but with all the darkness around its hard....its like im trying to carry more than i can handle,but i look up and think bout everything i ever believed in and it helps me get through everything cause im staying positive.....i just the darkness to go away but without good theres no evil and vise versa...with greatness comes great responsibilty...

[MrVicenteInezAlvarez]

This song > all the books on parenting, ever written , combined.

[ARichey92]

This is a song that strikes right at the heart. It's moving, touching, emotional, and more than anything it gives a good moral to live by. This song saved my life once, it holds a special place in my heart and Lynyrd Skynyrd will forever be remembered for their words that "momma told me when I was young". Thanks guys, I'm in your debt.

[theoneandonlysarab]

Awesome song frm LS one my personal favorites

[dpags3663]

shinedown has the best cover of this song... hands down

[gtacorey1]

i love this song, too bad he died so early

[MetalCheva]

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, take your time don't live too fast Troubles will come and they will pass Go find a woman you'll find love And don't forget son there is someone up above 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?

[theairsoftrebel]

the dislike bar is smaller than beiber's dick

[msowolfy]

@theairsoftrebel Larger than justin beiber's dick*

[mrcrrclraacm]

Esta canción es buenísima. Todavía conservo el L.P. Gracias por subirla.

[PurdueClassof02]

199 people simply hit the dislike button in error.

[MultiCHelseagrin]

@PurdueClassof02 You should probably read the top comment.

[Guitarejunk]

I'm 15 and i'm really sorry what my generation did to real music and i'm born in the wrong generation :(

[Bigchimpin87]

@Guitarejunk I hold you personally responsible.

[MultiCHelseagrin]

@Guitarejunk You should probably read the top comment.

[l0rd0f0xygen]

@Guitarejunk Your an idiot.

[anokaty]

best song and group ever created!!!

[larussural]

always somehere?

[CURIOSITYKILLEDTHE12]

there are no' simple men'...



[GarrettWilkins951]

All I here on the radio is Lil Wayne, Eminem, etc. Why don't they play this??

[ToKeNhI]

@GarrettWilkins951 Gotta find yourself a good golden rock station.. and turn it off them coon channels.

[dirttyhairy]

@GarrettWilkins951 try putting it on a rock station??

[TheToxicAfroSociety]

@GarrettWilkins951 Southern Rock was killed by today's country music, which today sounds like shit. don't know why people like new contry.

[AbusedHD]

@TheToxicAfroSociety I like all country, I was born in Texas. Country is country to me I am not picky about any type of country. I see it the same way, better than rap anyday. Same goes for Classic Rock and Southern Rock. I'm full blood Texan

[jm8907]

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the second concert I ever went to. Cheap Trick opened up for them, and it was one of the greatest times, and probably one of the best concerts I will ever go to... This bands music gives me such goosebumps its just crazy. For everyone who mentions a loss of a friend or family member, Im sorry for your loss.

[karna112487]

Thumbs up to the original over Shinedown's version. I had the misfortune of hearing that before I heard this.

[Lycon721995]

My friends fother commited suicide this song helps me through it. My hats off to the greatest soft rock band that ever lived Lynyrd Skynyrd R.I.P to those of the band who died on that plane. R.I.P to my friends dad. ;(

[Panoramic4U]

Seen Lynyrd in concert when group was original at SLC UT, lead guitar player jump down off stage into crowd and played Freebird 10' from me simply amazing

[TheTAKAMINE15]

if you had one of your family take their own life you might have a different view, we all have opinions on things in life that have never thouched us , it only comes with experience and age.

[NammVet]

I'm not so sure if anyone else believes in god anymore, but.... When you kill yourself, you don't exactly have a good chance of "Going to a better place."

[gamemasta11]

i try to be a simple kind of man, but the majority of the world rejects our kind... people arent used to kind hearted people... but some people will be miserable no matter what you do...

[doritos42o]

I don't care about Justin Bieber.

I don't care how old you are.

I don't care what brought you here.

And I don't care how many dislikes there are.

I JUST LIKE THIS SONG.

[zebra1067]

@doritos42o I`m 13. I hate justin beiber. I brought me here. There are 199 or more dislikes

(troll face)

[msowolfy]

@zebra1067 same

[zebra1067]

@msowolfy Yea. :)

[MoneyTalks0z]

justin bieber really is a queer

[S2Cents]

love how he sings "uuupp aboovve". even tho there isn't a god.

[CreepyCrawly09]

RIP to the original Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[bobbrox40]

I want to play this for my child and at my funeral, (tearing up)

[jshel37]

My baby boys lullaby, I sang this one from crib on up to him. Tear in the eye here ,too!! He is a man now.

[cbcrog]

This song brings nothing but great memories and smiles. Still gives me chills.

[babababoom11]

@cbcrog every thing gives ME chills because it is winter at my country

OH! who doesn't adore this song?

[cbcrog]

@babababoom11 touche my friend lol and no friend of mine.

[msowolfy]

Epic. Just epic

[MatthieuHenri1]

I feel somehow amongst friends listening to this. I know that when I read the comments here, I wil find people that may feel a lot like me. I feel at home, even though I don't know any of you. Thanks for that

[coryzaranek]

ramadi rutbah musa qualeh which one do you wanna talk about... But looks like were having a disagreement over the same shit... Then again I treated the population with respect until they started some shit.

[carlos41973]

simple man, that's me. I drink, I get mad. but i'm simple kind of man.....

[GoldFishEatSouls]

this song is words to live by

[taintedegotrip]

fuck shinedown THAT IS ALL

[coryzaranek]

skaterboyask you sound like a complete POG, trigger dicipline and knowing how to shoot gets rid of inocent deaths, but this aint a political debate

[skaterboyask]

@coryzaranek your a fuckn idiot .. you have no idea what your talking about ... WHERE DID YOU SERVE ... if you served in the war on TERROR .. you would know that everyone is a threat .. there is no fuckn trigger dicipline... i'm not talkin about killin civis in a battle .. i'm talkin about shooting a man on a bike because you saw him speed up when he past you... when I was there i told a boy " I'm most likely going to shoot you when your older" he had no idea what that meant

[skaterboyask]

PEACE AND PROSPARITY BE DAMNED! ... I USED TO LISTIN TO THIS SONG ALL THE TIME IN AFGHANISTAN .. THEN I CAME BACK AND SAW THE WAR FOR WHAT IT TRULY IS .. FUCK THE WAR .. to all the kids out there .. Don't ever join the army son it's not what you think ... your either guna end up dead seeing your friends die ... killin innocent people .. or comin back to be greeted as a war hero and killin yourself because your haunted by the past.

[jamiller83]

@skaterboyask when my grandfather came back from vietnam he said people would spit on him for serving. Im sorry you have to put up with assfucks. Thank you for serving our country. 

[skaterboyask]

@jamiller83 Canadian army bro ..and there is people like that .. they think i'm a murderer ..And I tell them theyr right .. but there is also people who thank me for my service .. just because Ive been in battle and survived .. but A real warrior goes to war .. not join some street gang bullshit

[Sjage]

@skaterboyask I am conscripted, I will have to go army 6 months, 9 monts or 12 months, but that's what every Finnish man has to do. Then you can go to work in army or continue your normal life. And when needesd, those who have been to army are called in arms. But only for defending.

[VVHITECHAPEL]

Bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd are immortal. I'd like to see Lil Wayne be a music icon 35 years after his prime..

[jamiller83]

@VVHITECHAPEL maybe not lil wayne...but i bet 2pac gets there and then some!

[xeroxusify]

@jamiller83 seriously who the fuck is 2pac..is she/he some sort a duo or sumthin?

[jamiller83]

@xeroxusify no hes prolly the greatest rappers. Look him up on youtube.

[MrFireinthehole420]

@jamiller83 Please quit talking about niggers around here. We don't care anything about them. REBEL PRIDE!

[TheOdelayhomes69]

This song makes me want to build a cabin in the woods with no electricity and ride a homemade bike untill I'm 53.

[cam57fsu]

Skynyrd!!!



[xXxCiddKrashxXx]

<33333333333333

[godzillaLV]

I am complex man, but when I have had too much of nonsense around me I turn on this song and for a moment I enjoy my mind switching to simpleness

[mrdeathhawk1]

i love lynrd sknrd



[FloydandSpeedwagon]

This is one of my favorite rock songs of all time, besides Bringin on the Heartbreak by Def Leppard

[IBMGaming]

I was going to play and sing this to my GF. The girl that I loved left me before I had the chance.

[MiissDead]

HOW could you dislike this song?

[brynemarlin03]

[dhkcody]

[Miltosth]

[babababoom11]

[fereshtehize]

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, take your time don't live too fast Troubles will come and they will pass Go find a woman you'll find love And don't forget son there is someone up above 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?

[jeremydg101]

[SirJakeDeez]

Nope! 182 of them are metal heads!

[ItsBlackFlag]

@SirJakeDeez Actually i like metal and alot of other music but i still think this is a masterpeice.

[CaliThrasher86]

@SirJakeDeez this is a very stupid thing to say. MEtal is my favorite genre, but it dosen't mean that i am stupid or that is the only music I listen to. I love this song.

[msowolfy]

@SirJakeDeez What a retarded thing to say. I love heavy metal but i love lynyrd skynyrd, so what does that make me?

[brennanthebrown]

[bridgeburner100]

This song should have the 5.3 mil views it already has and add that over any song that lady gaga or justin beiber or anyone of the kind should ever have. If you wanna listen to some real music this is your stop.

[gregoir]

@bridgeburner100 haha! I totally agree bro.

[Horzzo]

Elvis died August 16th 1977. I came into this world September 18th 1977. Skynyrd's plane crashed down October 20th of that same year. What does it mean? A bad year for rock & roll.

[arschlecken1312]
