Song lyrics
Well, Momma told me
When I was young
Said 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 (ahhh ya)

Oh, take your time
Don't live too fast
Troubles will come
And they will pass
You'll find a woman
And you'll find love
And don't forget that there is someone up above

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

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this for me son, if you can

Oh, don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son, is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
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
So baby, be a simple be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can

You guys know that this is a cover of a Skynard song, right? I'd like to hear Shinedown's version though because .45 is a great song.

I bought the album a few days ago for .45, of course, but now I listen to Simple Man more than it. =D

lynyrd skynyrd is better....i dont really like this cover, only because simple kind of man is one of the best songs ever, and there's no need to re-do it.... but shinedown is really good....just not this song

I think we can honestly say that no cover can be better than the original, although this does come close. Amazing song, powerful vocals, soothing guitar. Overall wicked cover!!

This song is pretty good. Not as good as the original in my opinion. I liked .45 too.

Great vocals! My boyfriend Paul loves it. But, I think it could use more background music. It has incredible lyrics, too.

Amazing song, great remake too. Wasn't as good as Skynards, but it came really close. Shinedown is wonderfull! Two thumbs up!

sunrae9, i have to agree with you, Lynyrd Skynyrd version is so much better. Like you said some song that older bands have then new artist cover them does not work because usually the orginal one is better.
