Simple man

A simple man’s got it rough these days

Raise your kids, work all your life      that’s the American way

Two working parents just isn’t enough

They make it so hard       on two people in love

 Chorus

Simple man’s joints ache after a hard day of work

Simple man praises Jesus Sunday mornings at church

Simple man there for his kids even if they’ve done wrong

I’m just a simple man       with a simple song

Lord have mercy             on the simple man

V2

A simple man’s losing their jobs these days

Let’em go to a foreign country     to save a little on pay

Taking God out of our government and schools

Then wonder why kids turned killers        think they’re really cool

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Now this simple man      will tuck his kids in bed     since the day is done

Go through the bills        and wonder where       the money will come from

Lay in bed and pray          to the good Lord     as I hold my wife

“I’m not asking for much Lord      just be with us        through this life”
