I Am A Simple Man

I don't know why you wanna start with me I ain't done nothin' far as I can see And I'm warn 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 wanna sit down To ease a sore backache You say you're having trouble figuring me I don't believe I'm such a mystery Baby what you get is what you see I am a simple man I wanna a job and a piece of land Three squares in my pride of hand Don't seem so hard to me to understand I am a simple man You say you got some things to talk about A lot of problems that we need to work out But we just end 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 When I'm giving my best You say you're having trouble figuring me I don't believe I'm such a mystery Baby what you get is what you see I am a simple man I wanna place I can lay my head Soft woman and a warm bed A little time off before I'm dead I'm just a simple man You say you're having trouble figuring me I don't believe I'm such a mystery Baby what you get is what you see I am a simple man
