"Simple Man"
Shinedown
Well mama told me, when I was young
Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this, it'll help you some sunny day
Ahhh
Yeah it will
Or take your time don't live to fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget that there's is a someone up above
[Chorus]
Be a simple kind of man
Be a something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
(if you can)
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this(oh baby)if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
[Chorus]
And be a simple kind of man
Be a something that you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
(if you can)
Oh don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this(oh baby)if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
[Chorus]
And be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
So baby be a simple be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can

This song was originally made by Lyndard Skyndard but this is the covered version of Shinedown and is dedicated to Dimebag Darryll who was the lead guitarist for a band called Pantera. Dimebag was said to be a great friend and a loving person to all who he respected and he had passed away so they dedicated this song to him because in a way it resembles him.
The song is entitled "Simple Man" because it talks of how much easier life will be if you just do whats right and what your good and and to not just do what everyone else wants/expects you to. It says that money isn't a solution of all problems and that the true solution lies in your soul and your fate will be determined from that. The song is sang in the form of a son who has heard all this from his mother. She had told him that he should always follow his heart and his passion because that will make life less stressful and more simple and thats how the song got the title "Simple Man".
I like this song because it explains life as it should be rather than how in many cases it isn't because peoples problems rely within what they are told. Many people will choose money over happiness because they think that with money comes happiness. This can be true in some cases but for the most part money is only a necessity when used to live not as an accessory. Life was made to not only survive through hardships and problems but to also not be stressed out the whole time.
