i am a simple man
Singer:ricky van shelton
i don't know why you want to start with me
i ain't n-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 you're having trouble figuring me
i don't believe i'm such a mystery
what you get is what you see
i want a job and a piece of land
three squares in my frying pan
don't seem so hard for me to understand
you say we've 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
you say you're having trouble figuring me
i don't believe i'm such a mystery
what you get is what you see
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 want a place i can lay my head
soft woman and a warm bed
a little time off before i'm dead
you say you're having trouble figuring me
i don't believe i'm such a mystery
what you get is what you see
i want a job and a piece of land
three squares in my frying pan
don't seem so hard for me to understand
