Simple Man Songtext
von Lenny Cooper

I like my cutoff sleeves and my bootcut jeans
Way out here in the sticks
I like to shoot my gun, I ain′t scared of no one
Ima tell you straight how it is
'Cause I don′t give a damn (Damn)
I do what I can
I live life on how I plan
I'm just a simple man (Man, man)
I'm just a simple man (Man, man)

I′m as simple as they come
I don′t ask for much


But my beer and my cigs and my pick-up truck
I like to ride on them dirt roads and through the mud holes
Get in to some ruts so I can switch it down to 4-low
Call up the squad and see if they would join me
Ride all night and not stop 'til the morning
Its an easy life but its filled with hard times
No I never said life was an easy straight line
It a lot of long curves and a lot of hard turns
So just hang on to the wheel so you don′t go and crash and burn
And a lover round here is a damn funny thing
There's a lot of jealousy and hate as crazy as it seems
Gotta stick to my roots and try to stay true
′Cause around here man that's all there is to do
So go head, set up the skeet, so I can shoot
You know whats next, the famous word and that is "pull"

I like my cutoff sleeves and my bootcut jeans
Way out here in the sticks
I like to shoot my gun, I ain′t scared of no one
Ima tell you straight how it is
'Cause I don't give a damn (Damn)
I do what I can
I live life on how I plan
I′m just a simple man (Man, man)
I′m just a simple man (Man, man)


Where I'm at is no loud streets and no sirens
I live on a dirt road where my trailer′s surrounded by trees
It's just me myself no where else I′d rather be
Livin' this country life wouldn′t want to change a damn thing
Like where I hang out and where I go shop
You can catch me a bar or the local Walmart
Gettin' all the huntin' fishin′ supplies that I can get
I need to grab another car ′cause all this shit ain't gonna fit
People think I′m stubborn but hell I think I'm little crazy
Say what you want, all this shit ain′t gonna phase me
You might say I'm shady, you might think I′m stupid
Don't worry 'bout me you the one lookin′ foolish
I mind my own, never asking for trouble
Be there for anyone quick pass on a double
So just let me be kick back in the sticks
′Cause a simple man don't start shit they just finish it

I like my cutoff sleeves and my bootcut jeans
Way out here in the sticks
I like to shoot my gun, I ain′t scared of no one
Ima tell you straight how it is
'Cause I don′t give a damn (Damn)
I do what I can
I live life on how I plan
I'm just a simple man (Man, man)
I′m just a simple man (Man, man)

Put on my cut off sleeves and my bootcut jeans
Grab my 12- gauge now its time to sit in a tree
Wait for the one to walk out that'll make you shake
Take a shot that'll make you the talk of the day
So everyone be saying, "Man have you heard?
He done killed a ten-point this year that makes his third"
Now its time for a party, steaks supplied by me
Come one come all just know it′s BYOB
Got a big bonfire so everyone can see
A handle of moonshine nicknamed "Gasoline"
One shot guaranteed it will break you down
This stuff will make you introduce yourself to the ground
So be easy, just party and have a good time
You only live once lives don′t have a rewind
Damn right, I do what I can
I'm a country boy known as the "Simple Man"

I like my cutoff sleeves and my bootcut jeans
Way out here in the sticks
I like to shoot my gun, I ain′t scared of no one
Ima tell you straight how it is
'Cause I don′t give a damn
I do what I can
I live life on how I plan
I'm just a simple man (Man, man)
I′m just a simple man (Man, man)
