Simple Man Songtext
von John McCutcheon

I don′t wanna be a hero
And I don't wanna be a king
And I don′t need a lot of money
And I don't need a lot of things
I don't need to be the bossman
Don′t need to be no number one
Just need to know that I am needed
Just need to have a little fun

CHORUS
I haven′t got a fancy history
I haven't got much of a plan
Sure I got hopes and I got dreams
Still albeit what I may seem
I am a simple man


I need someone that I can talk to
Someone who knows my name
Someone who′ll catch me when I'm falling
Someone who′ll warn me when I'm strained
I just need a little loving
Just need a little sane
And some quiet and a cold one
At the ending of my day

CHORUS
A place to put my feet up
And a nice hot shower
And someone to reach out to
In the darkest hour
Just need a place where I can hide
A place where I can turn
And when I′m lost and forgotten
I need a place where I return

Just need some food when I am hungy
Just need some warmth when I am cold
I need a friend when I am lonely
Need some time when I am old
I need some wisdom when I'm foolish
Need some joy when I am blue
Don't need nothing half so much these days
As I know that I need you


CHORUS
CHORUS
I am a simple man
I am a simple man
