Simple Man

And I, I am a simple man 
doing the best i can 
just tying to get by 

and i , thought i'd get to heaven 
by driving through hell 
but i passed it on by 

and i am a simple man 
lord i am a simple man 

and i , made a lot of wrongs 
but i'm trying to make it right 
by the end of my life 

and i, been knocked to the ground 
people trying to hold me down 
but i finally saw the light 

and i, had to learn self control 
had to search for my soul 
and i found it one night 

and i, damn near lost my life 
more than a couple times 
man, i'm lucky to be alive 

and i, loved a lot of ladies 
some had my babies 
but i just turned and walked away 

and i, seen a lot of good folks die 
some were unjustified 
but i had to say goodbye
