Shinedown

Well, Momma told me when I was young,
Said 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.
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass,
You'll find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget that
There is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man,
Be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man,
Oh, won't you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul,
And you can do this, baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son,
