Simple Man

C-G-Am7

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)

Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Turn The Page

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha Em
You can listen to the engines D
moanin' Out its one note song
You can think about the woman or the girl A
You knew the night before Em

But your thoughts will soon be wandering Em
The way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours D
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like riding A
You just wish the trip was through Em

Chorus:
Here I am, On the road again D Em
There I am, Up on the stage D Em
There I go, Playin' star again D A
There I go, Turn the page C D Em

So you walk into this restaurant Em
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you D
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you A
But you just want to explode Em

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk Em
But other times you can
All the same old clichés: D
"Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered A
You don't dare make a stand
Make your stand Em

Courus

Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away Em
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away D
As the sweat pours out your body, A
like the music that you play Em

Later in the evenin' as you lie awake in bed Em
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head D
You smoke the day's last cigarette A
Rememberin' what she said Em
What she said

Here I am, on the road again
