Simple Man

You can take a boy out of the filth
 But that don't make him clean
 You could make my life easier, baby
 But that don't make it any less obscene
 And just 'cause you're acting so nice
 Don't mean you'll get a thing from me
 Don't throw your pennies in the wishing well
 'Cause what you get is what you see
 Lord, I'm a simple man
 Ain't too much I need
 I ain't asking for all of your love
 Give me what you can and set me free
 ♪
 You screamed and cried all night long
 Lord, you're killing me
 I never meant to put you down
 And never gave you any reason to grieve
 Sometimes when I feel so boxed in
 I wanna go and take a ride
 Grab the keys and my cigarettes
 And disappeared into the night
 Lord, I'm a simple man
 Ain't too much I need
 And I ain't askin' for all of your love
 Gimme what you can and set me free
 Lord, set me free
 ♪
 You lead this old horse to a bar
 And you can buy me a drink
 You lead me just about anywhere
 Sometimes I'm just too tired to think
 Never took anything from you
 That I couldn't return twice
 Never understand how I never
 Listen to my own advice
 Lord, I'm a simple man
 Ain't too much I need
 I ain't askin' for all of your love
 Give me what ya can and set me free
 I ain't askin' for all of your love
 I ain't askin' for all your love
 I ain't askin' for all of your love
 Give me what you can
 And set me free
