Be a Simple Man -Lynyrd Skynyrd

忘掉要成為有錢人的那份慾望吧
你所需要 最重要的是在你的心靈

Lynyrd Skynyrd 是在70年代中期相當經典的
南方搖滾樂團，
強烈的草根性質，主要是來自於樂團靈魂人物
Ronnie Van Zant的影響
Lynyrd Skynyrd音樂始終堅守在
藍調，搖滾與鄉村等音樂曲風的範疇內

1977年的一場空難，失去了主唱Ronnie Van Zant
與吉他手Steve Gaines，也留下了樂迷心裡萬般的遺憾

Simple Man這首歌，出現在1973年的首張專輯中
當然這首歌幾乎是在後來他們演唱會裡，很容易聽到的曲目
簡單的和絃進行，朗朗上口的旋律
歌詞裡透過媽媽告訴孩子的話
會讓你深受感動



樂團：Lynyrd Skynyrd

Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
