    Simple Man
    James Robert Duke says (13 Jan '13)

    Who thinks Kid Rock should do a remix of the Lynard Skynard classice hit Simple Man? It's one of my all time favs I know and Kid Could bring it back to life and have a Platinum Hit for sure:

    Mama told me when I was young
    Come sit beside me, my only son
    And listen closely to what I say.
    And if you do this
    It'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah!
    Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast,
    Troubles will come and they will pass.
    You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love,
    And don't forget son,
    There is someone up above.

    (Chorus)
    And be a simple, kind of man.
    Oh be something, you love and understand.
    Baby be a simple, kind of man.
    Oh, won't you do this for me son,
    If you can?

    Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold
    All that you need, is in your soul,
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
    All that I want for you my son,
    Is to be satisfied.

    (Chorus)

    Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
    Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else.
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
    All that I want for you my son,
    Is to be satisfied.

    (Chorus)

    Baby be a simple, be a simple man.
    Oh be something, you love and understand.
    Baby be a simple, kind of man. (Fade out)

Where you at Rock where you at? What's your thoughts? All I want for my sons is to be Satisfied!!! Today my oldest son told me he needed a new backpack. I asked what was wrong with the one he had. We have zero money and our homeless Temp and just got our boys back in school since Dec 7th. Bobby James told me today he didn't want to start school with his old backpack because it says 420 all over it. I said so you put it there what do you care. He responded " I don't want to be associated with that in my new school" At 14 he has made a choice for a better life!!!! Baby be a simple kind of man!!!

We saw Buckcherry with Nickelback on their last stop of thier North American Tour a few years back. Holloween Weekend in Vegas. It was freakin crazy.

I think he would be more fitting with his personality for free bird but simple man goes along as well. Maybe we could get lucky and get both. I saw them both in concert together in Dallas. Damn that was a kick ass show and can't wait for Tulsa show to see him play with Buckcherry. That's gonna be awesome.

This is one of my favorite Lynyard Skynard songs. My son, just turned 18, feels that it is "our" song. I must say, though, that my class song back in 1982 (oh shit, did I just date myself???) was Free Bird for Clinton High School! Any song that Bobby wants to re-do is FINE with me!!

Did you say 1982, Diana? I go back to 1979-lol I think our song was 'Come Sail Away' by Styx

KRSVAL.....our class almost had a Styx song as the class song. The year book staff and student government were so sure that "Best of Times" would be chosen that they ordered our year books with that on the cover. BUT, Free Bird beat Best of Times by only 4 or 5 votes :) I still think the 80's were the best times to be a teen and young adult. Those days rocked (well, the ones I remember rocked! LOL)

I love to sing this song to my three boys. My oldest (14) Robert James covers his ears in protest. LOL. My youngest two boys sing along.

I like the lyrics. I would rather hear him do 'Gimme Back My Bullets' or 'Gimme Three Steps', tho.
FREEE BIRRRD ;) lol
