SIMPLE MAN [Verse 1] I tried to be a simple man I tried to push the love away I tried to be your everyday man Clean conscience in the pouring rain Sitting on the corner Sipping on a Corona Eyes following you and your boyfriend Trynna be a simple man In control of what’s in my hands [Verse 2] I tried the whiskey talk I tried to wash away the pain Trying to be the better man To make things right and understand Leaning by the corner Scrounging up a few dollars Eyes follow you walking again Trynna have the upper hand Planning how to be your man [Chorus] Now the whiskey says I miss you Every night it tells me the same I take one for the road Feel it down in my guts Then another one for the pain Trynna be a simple man Trynna keep my mind sane Trynna be a simple man While the whiskey says your name [Verse 3] I stumble out onto the sidewalk Now I hear the moon talk And it says I miss you again Every night it’s all the same Every bottle knows your name I’m just trying to be a simple man Or maybe even a better man But the moon don’t give a damn And the whiskey understands [Final Chorus] Now the whiskey says I miss you Every night it tells me the same I take one for the road Feel it down in my guts Then another one for the pain Trynna be a simple man Trynna keep my mind sane Trynna be a simple man While the whiskey says your name [Outro] Every night it’s all the same Every bottle knows your name I know I’m a simple man Far from being A better man [Final Refrain] Trynna be a simple man Trynna keep my mind sane Trynna be a simple man While the whiskey says your name
