Ricky Van Shelton - I Am A Simple Man Lyrics

I don’t know why you want to start with me, I ain’t n-nothing far as I can see
And I’m worn out from working too hard, why don’t you give me a break
I know that lately things ain’t been so good, I’ll make it up just like I told you I would
But I’m tired and I want to sit down, to ease this old backache

You say your having trouble figuring me, I don’t believe I’m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see, I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land, three squares in my frying pan
Don’t seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man

You say we got some things to talk about, a lot of problems that we need to work out
But we just wind up fighting why don’t you give it a rest
I don’t know what else I can say to you, I’m doing everything I know to do
And I can’t give you anything more when I’m giving my best

You say your having trouble figuring me, I don’t believe I’m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see, I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land, three squares in my frying pan
Don’t seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man

I want a place I can lay my head, soft woman and a warm bed
A little time off before I’m dead, I am a simple man

You say your having trouble figuring me, I don’t believe I’m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see, I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land, three squares in my frying pan
Don’t seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man
