Simple Man Songtext

Simple Man Songtext
I left my home town
Went back to basics
I had no friends
Now what a shame
I wrote my mother nearly every day
She didn′t write back, not a page.
I tore the place down
I tore the place down
And I hope you're gonna come back someday
I can′t go on living this way
I'm a simple man, I live afraid.
____ my homestead, mostly made of wooden planks that I had found.
I wrote my girlfriend but she just left me
And ____ to make me feel down.
I tore the place down.
I tore the place down.
And I hope you're gonna come back someday,
I can′t go on living this way
I′m a simple man, I live afraid.
Tore the place down and you don't mind
It only made it easier for me to find.
I was just a summer night (?) now you′ve got up and you're gone.
I tore the place down the other day,
It only made it easier for me to stay.
It was just a summer night (?) and I got up and you′re gone.
Oh now, hope you're gonna come back someday,
I can′t go on living this way.
I'm a simple man I live afraid.
(Done by ear, sorry for any mistakes! Best I could get)
Went back to basics

I tore the place down
And I hope you're gonna come back someday
I can′t go on living this way
I'm a simple man, I live afraid.
____ my homestead, mostly made of wooden planks that I had found.
I wrote my girlfriend but she just left me
And ____ to make me feel down.
I tore the place down.
I tore the place down.
And I hope you're gonna come back someday,
I can′t go on living this way
I′m a simple man, I live afraid.
Tore the place down and you don't mind
It only made it easier for me to find.
I was just a summer night (?) now you′ve got up and you're gone.
I tore the place down the other day,
It only made it easier for me to stay.
It was just a summer night (?) and I got up and you′re gone.
Oh now, hope you're gonna come back someday,
I can′t go on living this way.
I'm a simple man I live afraid.
