Lyrics to Simple Man

You can take a 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



Just `cause you're acting 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 receive



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 ya can

And set me free



You screamed and cried all night long

Lord, you're killing 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

I Grab the keys and my cigarettes

And disappeared into the night



Lord I'm a simple man

Ain't too much I need

And I ain't askin' for all of your love

Gimme what you can

And set me free



Set me free



(Solo)



You lead this old horse to a bar

And you can buy me a drink

You lead me just about 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 ya can

And set me free



I ain't askin' for all of your love

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
