I don't know why you want to start with me
I ain't done nothin' far as I can see
And for one i've been working so hard why don't you give me a break
I know that lately things ain't been so good
I'll make it up just like i told ya i would
In time but i want to sit down to ease this ol' back ache
Chorus:
you say your 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 and my fryin' pan
Don't seem so hard to 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 if your just into fightin' 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 to do
And I can't give you anything more when i'm givin' my best
Chorus:
you say your 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 and my fryin' pan
Don't seem so hard to 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 i'm dead
I'm just a simple man
Chorus:
you say your 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 and my fryin' pan
Don't seem so hard to me to understand
I am a simple man
