[Verse]

Oh, take your time, don't live too fast

Troubles will come and they will pass

You'll find a woman, yeah, and 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, simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?
