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  submitted by Devin Warburton corrected by Jack_Dark on 08-01-2005 |

11 posts | I can't beleive no one jumped me for saying that Nirvana song is a cover. I was just kidding. |

9 posts | I honestly think that Shinedown's version of this song makes the other version become really really bad |

11 posts | I think this cover is perfect. I personally like it better then the orignal. The lead singer puts way more heart and emotion into this song.
And to the Nirvana fans out there, you do know that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a remake don't you? Lol |

34 posts | As you can probably tell from my name,this is my favorite song.The orginal,performed by lynard skynard,is such a great song and,in my eyes,only surpassed by the shinedown cover.The vocals are better then the orginal and i think the acoustic is better then the electric guitar for this song.So shindown beat lynard skynard in instruments and vocal.All together it is a very powerfull song.The lyrics seem cliche but it gets the point accrose in such a beautiful way,it makes it more original.I plan to play this song for my upcoming child(due in may  ).I will play it acoustic while my girl(who has a great singing voice)sings to my child as a lullaby,befor he sleeps. |

2 posts | I'm a huge skynyrd fan, so when a friend told me about this cover, i was like "there's no way, i'm definately gonna hate it..." but i heard it, and immediately loved it. shinedown took this one step further than a cover - they made it their own in a great way, while keeping the american rock n' roll roots intact. no one will ever be better than skynyrd for me... but these guys come close. |

1 posts | I must admit, Shinedown had done a fine job in covering this song, but it is far from Skynyrd's version. Ronnie Van Zant was a brilliant songwriter, and this song is very near the top of my favorite song list. This song is amazing live too. Anyways, props to Shinedown for doing a fine job. |

17 posts | Shinedown should be commended for having the guts to do this cover. It takes a lot of moxy to properly cover this song. This is by far one of the greatest songs ever written, and is held sacred by a lot of people. This was arguably Skynard's greatest song, and I loved this tribute. |

4,992 posts | Both versions are great and awsome, and the words are so touching, but i like Shinedown's version better because you can really feel the emotion in the singer's voice, he has such a great voice and the song sounds great as simple as it but the guitar playing in Lynyrd's Skynyrd's song is awsome.  |

24 posts | Lynard Skynard's version is much better but gotta give it up to shinedown for doin such a kick ass job. nobody couldve done it better...well besides Lynard Skynard....lol but thats besides the point |

11 posts | 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.  |

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

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