I Am A Simple Man (1991)
I dont know why you want to start with me, I aint n-nothing far as I can see
And Im worn out from working too hard, why dont you give me a break
I know that lately things aint been so good, Ill make it up just like I told you I would
But Im tired and I want to sit down, to ease this old backache

You say your having trouble figuring me, I dont believe Im such a mystery
Mmm 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
Dont seem 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
But we just wind up fighting why dont you give it a rest
I dont know what else I can say to you, Im doing everything I know to do

You say your having trouble figuring me, I dont believe Im such a mystery
Mmm 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
Dont seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man

I want a place I can lay my head, soft woman and a warm bed
A little time off before Im dead, I am a simple man

You say your having trouble figuring me, I dont believe Im such a mystery
Mmm 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
Dont seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man
