    Songwriters: VAN ZANT, RONNIE / ROSSINGTON, GARY ROBERT
    Lyrics:
    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 Yah!
    Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast,
    Troubles will come and they will pass.
    You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love,
    And don't forget son,
    There is someone up above.
    (Chorus)
    And be a simple, kind of man.
    Oh 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.
    (Chorus)
    Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
    Follow your heart, lord, 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.
    (Chorus)
    Baby be a simple, be a simple man.
    Oh be something, you love and understand.
    Baby be a simple, kind of man. (Fade out)

      22 For they are life to those who find them,
      And health to all their flesh.

      It is a weird feeling having somone in your life who is so important and means so much to you and your kids , To have that suddenly snatched away is hard to process . it has been under 2 years for me and I will tell you I can not grasp it ,I am having a real hard time with this . I hope you are coping better than I . Hang in there bud they say it gets easier ... I am not sure how but we will see .

And I never played it for him on the womb or nothing just one day I was listening to it and singing to him and he fell asleep, since then this is my magic song lol thanks Lynyrd Skynyrd 😁

    I see myself as being a simple man. I don't have much so the things that I do have I am very thankful for. I cherish what friends I have. I am thankful for the people that I have in my life. It is the little things in life that give me much joy and it may not be any more than just a walk on a sunny day, a smile from a neighbor, the laughter of a child, the touch of a woman's hand, listening to the birds chirping while laying in a hammock, or just being able to relax in my recliner. The little things in life mean the most to me. I've never had much money in fact I have actually been homeless more than once and it gave me a totally different outlook on life. I've learned to be happy without money though I do work. I don't care if I ever get rich. The little things are what I live for. Thank God for peaceful country roads and the sound of the wind in the Willow trees. The little things are all I need. I love this band and this song. Thank you for your awesome music throughout the years. And may God bless you my brothers.

    This song upsets tf out of me. Got a call from my old buddy while I was at work one day, when I picked up I couldn’t understand what he was saying cause he was choked up, so I told him to repeat what he said. At first it sounded like he said his dad was gone and something happened to his dad. I rushed out of work went to his house, come to find out our friend shot himself in his basement, this song was playing as I was on my way to his house. Will never forget the look on his face when I got there, all the emotions that went thru my head, I just remember being numb and not knowing what to say. Everybody rushed to his house including his brother, we were all devastated. Seeing our friend come out in a body bag is the most terrible feeling in the world, wouldn’t wish it on anybody. I love this song but that memory keeps me from listening to it sometimes. RIP Pat, you’re still missed brother.

    I'm depressed and suicidal, have been for nearly 10 years (in therapy for almost the same time)
    I often cry on lonely nights wishing for an end, but this song brings a different kind of tear.
    Its tears for my mother who loves me and wishes for me to be happy in whatever way possible.
    It reminds me of her suffering seeing me like this.
    Whenever I feel close to the edge this song reminds me of my mother and that It would destory her, she doesn't deserve it, wish I could be a better son.
    I love you mom, I'm sorry for hurting you so much, you deserve better.

Forget what 'THEY' tell you you need to be a happy and successful man.

      several things are inaccurate in the statement you just made. 1. in an emergency gold is useless all you need is food, water, and shelter. 2. Those types of items are exceedingly cheap in 99% of America no one is forcing you to live in New York or the Silicon Valley were water costs ten grand. 3. the song doesn't tell you to give up on your dreams or to be homeless, it just tells you to set real goals and be happy were you are. 4. when you go after piles of gold in the manner in witch your statement implies you will 9/10 times die with less than a penny to your name because you saw gold and demanded it would be yours while ignoring reality.

He'll refuse payment to fix an old lady's house for free, and I've watched him stop the car on the side of the highway to run across traffic to pull the car door off a car that has just crashed so he could get the people out before paramedics arrived. And I've tried so hard to watch and learn to be like him.

    This song was played at my son's wedding and it means so much to me, and now he's leaving for the Navy in January. I will always think of him when I hear this.

    I wish I could have become a simple man, living my life in peace. Sadly, war has followed me for 40 years. This song is absolutely sublime.

    Before i was even born mom would tell me of rubbing her belly and singing this to me, a couple months before she died she rminded me once again of her song to me, and asked me, are ya done yet? Now can you just be that Simple Man for me, its not a bad thing, ots why i feel in love with your father and why Ronette still loves you, will ya do that for me baby, can ya? I know you can if you just try baby?...the first time i heard this song after she died never had more meaning to it for me than it did that day and everyday since then, ....yeah momma, damn right i will, I love you mom, and thank you God for her, thats one Angel that definately fullfilled her duties here, and she was my mom...what a privilege i had to have her as my mom, Thank you
