My mother dedicated this song to me and when times were as bad as they could get...trust me!!! i believe I was about 6 and she was bartending in New Orleans where i grew up...she was livin day to day just trying to keep my afloat. well since then when we are together which is like once a year maybe we sit and listen to it...i will break down on this song. when i heard my mother had breast cancer fot the second time i was in Iraq....a bad spot to be to get news like that let me tell ya. anyways the words to this song is like my mother always spoke of. she new what kind of man i would grow up to be and always lead me on the right path. i just had to follow my own foot steps and i would make it there...just being
A SIMPLE MAN
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.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.
(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(chorus)
Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(chorus)
