Randy Houser- Simple Man

Skynyrd Classic

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?

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
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
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, be a simple man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man

@br123ia456n i agree to some extent,, remaking a movie, or tv show and calling by the original show/movie makes no sense cause its never the same... covering a song and doing it well like randy and shinedown does.. makes the original artist proud that it ws done and done well

@bowhunter815 i agree that he sounds WAAAY better up close and front row live :P i saw him and willie, and jamey in june, and it was EPIC!! and you know whats funny?? i listened to this cover the night before the concert, and it was my first time hearin' it, so the WHOLE next day at the concert, i was PRAYIN for him to sing this song, and to my surprise, this was the last song they played, but they carried it out into a 10 min. solo!!!!!! but i disagree on the shinedown THUMBS DOWN :/
