Simple Man - The Charlie Daniels Band

What if I fall in love with you Just like normal people do Well maybe I'd kill you Or maybe I'd be true When I go down to get a job sometime It seems people can read my mind And make money disappear While they're talking sweet and kind Well in some ways I am like a child You never seemed to know it And if a kind word ever crossed your mind You never tried to show it Well in some ways I am like a child You never seemed to know it And if a kind word ever crossed your mind You never tried to show it When people don't know what you mean They may laugh at you and call you green They'll say your words are stupid And your plans are only schemes Truth is simple But seldom ever seen Let nothing come between Simple man, simple dream

There's a place not too far away from here Out with the cows and the Lone Star beer Where the livin' and lovin' is quite all right with me Well, they call it Texas, and it's a mighty fine place to be Runs from Texarkana to El Paso And Oklahoma down to old Mexico And there's Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antone People in Texas sure do make you feel at home They just want everybody to leave them alone While they drink their whiskey and roll their own And they like their music with a little bit of southern sound Kick up their heels every evenin' when the sun goes down And you can call them country, and they don't care And if you don't like the way they wear their hair You can take you like and shove 'em on up the line People in Texas don't care if the sun don't shine

Daniels You can dance around if you want to But there's some thing a man don't wanna do And if you see him comin' walkin' down the street You better jump right Outta his way Everyone knows it's a street skit Every time he comes to town Coz he's got somethin' in his left hip The blues down walk around Funky-junky Funky-junky He's on Missouri Boulevard About a half o' mile south of the graveyard Better run an leap through funky old dirt Go one don't find no shame This old muskrat barbeque And a sweetness on the railroad track He's gotta tiger in his living room He gotta monkey on his back Funky-junky Funky-junky
