Lyrics:
My momma 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 will help you, some sunny day.
Oh take your time, don't live too fast.
Troubles will come, and they will pass.
Well find a woman, 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'll love and understand.
Baby be a simple kind of man.
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can.
Get your lust, the rich man's gold.
All that you need, is in your
Soul.
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
Chorus:
Solo
Oh don't you worry, you'll find yourself.
Follow your heart, and nothing else.
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
