Simple Man (Album Version)

You can take a boy out of the field

But that don't make him clean

You've made my life easier, baby

But that don't make it any less obscene

Just `cause you're acting so nice

Don't mean you'll get a thing from me

Don't throw your pennies in the wishing well

Cause what you get, is what you see

Lord, I'm a simple man

Ain't too much I need

Well, I ain't askin for all of your love

Give me what ya can

And set me free

You screamed and cried all night long

Lord, you're killing me

I never meant to put you down

And never gave you any reason to grieve

Sometimes when I feel so boxed in

I wanna go and take a ride

Grabbed the keys and my cigarettes

And disappeared into the night

Lord I'm a simple man

Ain't too much I need

I ain't askin' for all of your love

Gimme what you can

And set me free

Lord c'mon set me free

You lead this old horse to a bar

And you can buy me a drink

You lead me just about anywhere

Sometimes I'm just too tired to think

Never took anything from you

That I couldn't return twice

Never understand how I never

Listen to my own advice

Lord, I'm a simple man

Ain't too much I need

Well, I ain't askin for all of your love

Give me what ya can

And set me free

I ain't askin' for all of your love

I ain't askin' for all your love

I ain't askin' for all of your love

Give me what you can

And set me free
