I don't know why you want to start with me
|
I ain't done nothing far as I can see
|
and I'm tired out from working so hard
|
why don't you give me a break
|
|
I know that lately things ain't been too good
|
I'll make it up just like I told you I would
|
but I,m tired and I want to sit down
|
you just go back in
|
|
you say you're having trouble figuring me
|
I don't believe I'm such a mystery
|
baby what you get is what you see
|
I am a simple man
|
|
I want a job and a piece of land
|
three squares in my frying pan
|
don't be so hard for me to understand
|
I am a simple man
|
|
you say we got some things to talk about
|
a lot of problems that we need to work out
|
all this shoving and fighting
|
why don't you give it a rest
|
|
I don't know what else I can say to you
|
I'm doing everything I know it's true
|
and I can't give any thing more
|
when I'm giving my best
|
|
I want a place I can lay my head
|
soft woman and a warm bed
|
a little time off before I'm dead
|
I am a simple man
|
