You can take a boy out of the field But that don't make him clean You've made my life easier, baby But that don't make it any less obscene
Just 'cause you're acting so nice Don't mean you'll get a thing from me Don't throw your pennies in the wishing well Cause what you get, is what you see
Lord, I'm a simple man Ain't too much I need Well, I ain't askin for all of your love Give me what ya can And set me free
You screamed and cried all night long Lord, you're killing me I never meant to put you down And never gave you any reason to grieve
Sometimes when I feel so boxed in I wanna go and take a ride Grabbed the keys and my cigarettes And disappeared into the night
Lord I'm a simple man Ain't too much I need I ain't askin' for all of your love Gimme what you can And set me free Lord c'mon set me free
You lead this old horse to a bar And you can buy me a drink You lead me just about anywhere Sometimes I'm just too tired to think
Never took anything from you That I couldn't return twice Never understand how I never Listen to my own advice
Lord, I'm a simple man Ain't too much I need Well, I ain't askin for all of your love Give me what ya can And set me free
I ain't askin' for all of your love I ain't askin' for all your love I ain't askin' for all of your love Give me what you can And set me free
