~~ SIMPLE MAN ~~

[Nelson]

I've been using the phrase, " A Simple Man", to describe myself and my music,
so I thought I'd try putting it to song.
My equipment, software or abilities haven't improved much  
so it maybe best to listen through headphones.

Cheers

"Simple Man"
MisterNelson

Verse 1
I don't waste time trying to find and cross lines in the sand.
Or buying the most expensive toys and friends, I can.
No, I won't let success, derail my plan.
To live the life of a simple man

Verse 2
I don't wear my pants hanging - half off - my ass.
And On my IPod you'll find Tupac and bluegrass.
Just a country soul on these big city roads, quick with a please and thank you ma'am.
Such is the life of a simple man.

BREAK

Verse 3
Hey there Mister, a word with you if I can.
I heard you singing the blues, out in the rain.
I love the tone of your heartfelt songs, what would it take to change your plans?
I said a stool and some ice cold brew for I'm a simple man.

Verse 4
After about a year they appeared from across the sands.
With promises of gold and my own big ole rocking roll band.
No matter how it goes I suppose they'll never understand,
What it's like ... living the life,
What it's like ... living the life,
What it's like ... living the life,
of a
"Simple Man"

"Don't wear my pants hangin' half off my ass" I absolutely love that line Nelson! As simple as it is, it says so much. Great songwriting! I bow to your abilities of keeping it simple and still coming up with a very appealing and meaningful song.
