Simple Man

You take boy out of the filth

But that don't make him clean

You've made my life easier baby

But that don't make it any less obscene

And just 'cause you're actin' 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

I ain't askin' for all of your love

Give me what you can

And set me free

You screamed and cried all night long

Lord, you're killin' 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

Give me what you can

And set me free

Lord come on, set me free

You lead this old horse to a bar

And you can buy me a drink

You lead me just 'bout 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 you can

And set me free

I ain't askin' for all of your love

Nah, 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
