Lyrics:
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'll help you
some sunny day. Oh Yah!
Oh 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
Oh 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 is in your soul
And you can do this Oh baby if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh 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?
Boy don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this Oh baby if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can?
Baby be a simple, be a simple man.

My son died one week ago, it was his favorite song , it was his phone ring. he was 41 years old. he just got his life right with the lord. I guess the Lord needed to take him now. I am his mom and I miss him, please lord give me strength to except your will.
God bless you
I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you right now.
Sorry for your loss may he rest in peace
@David Castillo your kids. That's what's important now. Love them all you can.
You will be with him again Linda, God bless.
My mom was terminally ill and she wrote me a letter to read after she passed, and she told me to listen to this whenever I was missing her or feeling lost. Rest in peace, Mom.
What A Wonderful Mother
May she rest in peace.
Sorry for your loss.. thats sad.
Gods in need of Angel's , your Mom fit the bill, cause she already had wings, and a light that shined too bright for this old world. Blessings my friend...❤
May she rest in peace
This song is national treasure .. every young man should deeply understand this song..
Well said…. This is..,. When it was real music
i almost get a tear everytime i listen you are 100 percent correct thomas
Same same I agree 10000000 percent !
Also my son was born a few months ago and it cuts so much deeper with me now!
I have tried to instill this in both my boys. One is now a young man. Sent it to him today.
☺️🙏💜
My first son was born this morning at 8:32am. This is the first song that I wanted to listen to after his birth.
Congratulations Sweetheart 💟
정말 정확한 의견입니다!! 동의합니다.
Congratulations mama! My son is now a teen but they'll always be mom's little man.
@@LegacyXJudahi’m a 27 year old man. every time my mom calls me her “baby”, i tell her “mom, i’m an adult. can you stop calling me a ‘baby’?”
i was just listening to this song right next to her a couple of minutes ago, and saw this comment of yours, ma’am.
then i showed your comment to her. she smiled at me and said “a man is always a little boy in his mother’s eyes…”
now i’ve been shedding quite a bit of tears for the last few minutes.
may God bless you and people you, ma’am.
my mom was a superhero, since our dad kicked us out and left us alone hears ago. se had to raise me and my brother all by herself.
being a GOOD mother is the most important thing on this planet…
@@raqqafeller152 your mom sounds like an amazing woman who raised you right! A mother’s love transcends all space and time and I didn’t even know what it meant until I became a mom myself. And yes, 27 or 72 you’ll always be her baby.
My "step"father Richard was the greatest man I've ever known. He loved my mom and her 3 crazy kids as his own for years without anything in return until we were old enough to realize how lucky we were to have such a great man in our lives. He taught us to love Jesus, be decent people, work hard, and take care of each other. He had a band and also taught us so much about music. After 30 years of being married to my mom, he passed away in 2020. My siblings and our spouses wrote his eulogy and made sure this song, Simple Man, was the 1st heard by everyone in the church who attended. He was the greatest man. I am so fortunate to have had 30 years of his time on earth being my dad.
That's great. RIP to him.
R.I.P. Sir.
RIP makes me cry for those I miss
How lucky to have had him in your life. So many stories about evil step-parents, it's so heart-warming to read your story.
I'm so thankful you had Richard as a father. Although its bitter sweet that he is no longer here in the physical , I'm sure his love still surrounds you. Xx
Well this is a happy comment ... When my son was very young I told him I wanted this song for our mom and son dance ... As the years went by I totally forgot about what I told him . He was 30 n he asked me if I still wanted this song to be our mom and son dance ... Well I just started crying for joy as I had forgotten n he always remembered what I told him when he was like 8-9 years old ... Love that son of mine always
Perfect! I don't know why more people don't use it for that dance.
When I dance with my son when he got married for the first time and he knows his mommy I just know my son is that simple man it's just something else I had never thought of it really at all about how you was talkin about how it is and it was you know you're here comes the other one
holy fucking W
I was looking for mother son wedding song and I think I found what I was looking for.
I chose this song for our Mother-Son dance this past weekend for my son's wedding! We danced and loved it ...just perfect 🥂❤️
My son died from fentanyl last Christmas Eve it's been killing me I'm trying to not let it but we loved this song together he was 33 and a good man a great mechanic worked at a dealership for Ford and this sucks but this song is always going to be in my heart for him. He was a great guy
God bless Lynyrd Skynyrd and my son.
God bless you Jonathan
So sorry for your loss.
Both of my kids were drug addicts and the devastation is hard to have the courage to face a new day.
Grief has no time limit.
Bless you.
Im sorry for your loss and everyone who has suffered first from a criminal conspiracy of pharmceutical and doctors to sale massive amounts of narcotics with no regard for the devastation inflcted as long as more zeroes were added to the bottom line and a hefty fine that wasnt but a small portion of the profits was the punishment actually it was just them paying the gov there take like a good partner in crime. iSadly our " leaders" have totally abandoned there responsibilities to this country and allowed a hundred thousand people die a year when the entire Vietnam War had less in its entirety. It's not just drugs being dangerous but the Chinese flooding the country with Fentanyl to make them even deadlier without a single repercussion and that's why they do it they know they can kill a million of our citizens this way with little no consequences whereas using a gun to kill even one could trigger a war.
Just know that God is love and is watching over you. Talk to Him
so sorry
This band really are helping me through a tough time. I'm a recovering drug addict/ alcoholic. I can't believe almost 50 years later theyre music is still helping people through grief and hard times. I would like to send my love and warmest heart felt wishes to everyone that's commented. Love to you all. Xxxxx.Thankyou so so much lynrd skynrd. You're music will live forever Xxxxxxxxxxx
Wow, beautiful song. Can apply to daughters too?
Dont ever give up, you deserve it, stand strong. your a warrior.
Ronnie Van Zant was a very special man. Watch the documentary about Lynyrd Skynyrd. The story is legend.
You can do this!
😢😢😢..
My daddy’s funeral is Monday. We are playing this at his funeral. He loved it
Autumn H sorry for your loss. It’s not the end.
I’m sorry for you ❤️

*This song isn't just a song its a lesson of life that everyone should be taught*
I agree and don't listen to negative comments. Peace and love
no you shut the fuck up
This is the best song out
Yep.Amen.
♥️
My brother passed away one week ago today from stage 4 cancer. He had a Simple Man tattoo on his upper arm. He always said, "he was just a simple man" ~he was only 64, rest in peace my brother, fly high 💚
Sorry for your loss man

Nailed it Maria!
That part
hope my son realizes this wen he gets out of prison,he went in sept for the first time for possesion, he got covid, but made it, told him he only has one more chance
Lost my Mom last month, she was a simple lady but a smart woman who raised her kids, was a great cook and a seamstress. She came to this country 50 years ago a scared young Greek girl, she became an American citizen and loved America. We miss you mom, you'll be in our hearts forever.
johnsworld100 praying for ur lose pal!!! And I truly hope things get so much better for u!!! God Bless and sending all the love I can threw a message I lost my father almost 8 years ago and my mother doesn’t fool with me! So I can compare in some way and know kinda how u feel. God Bless again my pal!!!!!💯💯💯💯
Sorry to hear that man. I lost my mum a few years back now and only got two days' notice. I know how hard it is to get past, especially when you're as close as you sound like you were to your mom...but she lives on in you as a loving, caring, open-hearted person. Be that person and she will never be gone.
Best wishes, and god speed to you brother. Much love from the UK.
@@utubecrimequeen thank you so much!!
@@Snakebloke thank you!
I don't know U but here's a Lil message that helps me:Death leaves Heartaches 💔 no one can Heal..Luv leaves Memories no one can Steal...❣️ Hope it helps with yur loss✌️God Bless ☺️
Lost my mom and dad over a 4 week period. This song has really helped through the dark times.
Stay strong my friend! 🍀
I feel your pain brother...
My mom went home on April 11th.
We had a great dinner on April 3rd and all was good...
A week later I held her hand until her very last breath.
This song was always her dedication to me!
She left it written in her last letter.
Keep your head up!
🙏
@@derrickselinka3410 Much love brother
My 24 yr old son 😢 died 3/24/21 from a Drug overdose. This was & is our song. Momma Loves you Bubby
I miss you So bad
Stay strong ❤💪
And I hope you will see him again in Heaven one day 🕊💞
So sorry for your loss.
❤
I am so sorry for your loss, let me hold you in my arms...🫂🫂🫂
Some may call it a song. For those that truly understand, it’s a song that talks to you when you need the message most.
Yep
True ..
Is it to claim yourself, lost at se a?
You got that right!🤘
15 years after her death she still speaks to me.
This song "Simple Man" was played at my friends funeral today, 3 Sep 21. We miss you Tim.
God bless Tim 🙏
@@dogshitonastick4008 My condolences.
Man . That shit hurt me and I don't even know yall. God bless
@@simmerr_ thank you Matt. Great song and my friend will be missed.
RIP Tim.
My son died 2 years ago today. It still hurts just as much now as it did 2 years ago. This song meant a lot to both of us. I told him many years ago this was my song for him. I miss him so much.
All my dad has ever told me was to be what I wanted and play life safely, and more than anything he wanted me to avoid being like him, he started drugs and alcohol at a young age and has been in and out of jail all his life, he ran from the cops 2 months ago, and got found a week ago, he is now going to serve between 15 to 25 years, I'm 16, this song has more power than I can possibly describe, my mom's favorite, and mine too, I stumbled upon it today trying to find more classic rock songs to learn on my guitar and it hits me every time. You are in my prayers, God bless you
God bless you both 💐🇺🇸
😢I’m sorry for loss
I'm so sorry. It will be 2 years in November that I lost my son. Bless you ❤
May you know that the great comforter has HIS arms and all my prayers upon you dear one! Know Jesus who will unite you together, forever in love
When I feel like giving up and losing hope, this song reminds me to keep on going and to trust in the Lord. I pray anyone going through dark times will be free from that dark hole. Amen 🙏🏼
Keep Your Head Up King!!!
Never give up brother
My son was 21 when he passed away. His two sisters picked their songs to be played and this was the song I chose to play at his funeral. It couldn't have been any more perfect. There were probably 250 people that attended and there wasn't a dry eye in the chapel on that day. Many thanks to Lynard Skynyrd for a song that has so much meaning to me. You Rock!!
Your memories live on Brent Aaron Burgess!! One Love!
Rest in Paradise to y'all 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
We lost our son 2 years ago and am crying my eyes out relating to your loss and listening to simple man god bless y💪
Sorry for your loss let this song keep his spirit alive
My brother was 11 yrs. younger than me, but my best friend. He died on his 44 th Birthday in a MC accident. I knew this was his favorite song, but never really sat down to listen to all the words ... I still cry today ... yrs. later.
I'm so sorry for your loss
Just buried my daddy to this song 3 days ago. There will never be another man like him.
Tough to lose a parent
My condolences
Haley, Im sorry for your pain, sending you a hug..
I'm so sorry for your loss. He loves you I'm sure. I talk to my loved ones in heaven. I pray he's there.
God bless y’all.
Great Song, i just play at least 1 time at Week!
always
As do i 💚
Weak sauce once a day
My favorite of theirs
This one of my sons favorite songs. Played it at his funeral. Today was his birthday. Left the cemetery tonight turned my car on and it was playing on radio.
God speed. May his flame burn on forever 🙏🙌
❤😢
Sorry for your pain Brother.
Dedicated this to my only son months ago. This Friday I found out that I have a large Mass and going for a CT scan on Wednesday to see if the cancer has spread. My lil man is 12 and I was just saying how I can't wait to see what he looks like as a young man. I may not get the chance so I pray he grows to be a Simple Man and thinks of mom Everytime he hears this song. I love you my only son❤️💙
God is our HEALER, AMEN!!! Speak blessings & life over yourself!!!
You must trust in God, his only son - our saviour Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to heal you, trust that He can, and ask and accept that His will be done. Blessings to you and your son.
In the name of Jesus Christ I curse that tumor or tumors in your body Donna Richmond, I curse every spirit of cancer in your body and commanded it to die now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the bible says that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, well in the name of Jesus I destroy the works of the devil in your life, I destroy every plan the enemy has against you. I speak life, blessings, restoration, complete healing over your spirit, your soul and your body in the name of Jesus and I speak salvation over you and your house, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I declare and decreed this, amen.
Pray this prayer all the time and it will go away, this is spiritual warfare, let the doctors do their job, you do yours and I can guarentee it, it will go away, ask the Lord about this, ask for wisdom and understanding on this. Ask the Lord for the root of the oroblem, how did this cancer gain entrance into yiur body? Ask, ask, ask, thre is a Living God and HE is good, if there was no God, then Good and evil would not exist. Have a bless day and I will help you prsy, from a distance, but mighty effective, hallelujah for the honor and glory of Jesus.
May the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.god bless you and your family x
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My father passed away on friday this was his number one favorite song and band. He had alot of demons and bad decisions in his life but at heart was a great guy. Dad I love you hopefully you are at peace now and arent in pain Rip 11-20-20
I'm sorry to hear that my brother. Make your fucking pops proud man hes with you everywhere you go.
Rest in peace, good man
So sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 11/18/20 and this was the song he said described him. It really is how he lived & loved & I am so very grateful to have been his person.
May he rest in peace
This was my daddy's favorite song too. This July will be 6 years without him. 💔 I feel your pain. I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences.
Anyone that didn’t grow up listening to the bands of the late 60s the 70s and early 80s missed out on the greatest musicians and song writers of all times. Every band had its own unmistakable unique sound
One of my favorite songs of all time 💗. I tell my 2 sons that when they are older and want to remember mama to play this song. I just want them to live a good life and be themselves, be simple men ...
Most people think this song is about dying, Its not. Its about living, living in a manner that makes the people that raised you proud.
You are correct
I agree. Well said.
This song gives me a much more positive vibe than a negative one, albeit very emotional. :)
Couldn't have said it better
Absolutely advice to men (real men)
I"ve heard this song a million times, but it came on today and the tears came. My 22 year old son is still trying to find himself. Struggled with college and finally told me the other day that he's dropping out, with no real plan. I worry about his surviving in this world. Every lyric to this song is what I want to say to him. So I sent him this video. We connect thru music.
Don't feel bad I am almost 35 and am trying to find myself. Just support him from a distance. If he has something to say listen and agree. Encouragement is a beautiful thing during this time for him believe me! He'll figure it out :).
Just like the lyric "don't worry, you'll find yourself" keep your head up my brother took awhile to find himself no college or anything and has found his way
@@dylanfreeman2733 appreciate that man.
He'll get there. For some it just takes a little longer. Be patient.
@April Plans change and that’s ok. He may have a plan that he’s not sharing yet or it’ll come to him. What are his passions and what does he like to do? I attended college for two years and it wasn’t feeling right to me so I dropped out in 1999 and went onto something else I was passionate about. (Of course I worked hard until I figured out what I wanted to do but kept busy and living life.) I finally w ent to a trade school in 2003 and have been successful since. I can’t imagine what kids feel these days. These are some crazy days…. To me, I’m glad I dropped out because I didn’t want to waste my parents money paying out of state tuition. I wish you and your family the best 💜
My son surprised me with this song as our mother/son dance at his wedding yesterday. I've heard it b4, but he told me to really listen to the words. Such a powerful and fitting song!
Possibly the greatest song ever written .
This is more than a Song. This is a lesson for Life.
More than you know
Yes it is! Amen
Yes
Landon Hatton hello
One of many forgotten lessons
I was 13 my mom was on her death bed and I’m so many words she said something a lot like this song. Today I am a paramedic helping others and i do it all in her memory. This song means the world to me
God speed brother.
You have a good soul man. Keep being you.
That makes no sense at all
Don't forget son, there is someone up above ❤
My heart swells up with so much emotion whenever I hear this song truly a masterpiece. Thank you Ronnie RIP❤☮️
Loved the band since forever. This song has wise words for everyone of us. God Bless ❤
The only bad part about this song is that it ends.
Beautiful song I love rock it's my life there
Not if you put it on loop
And that’s a fact
That’s what “repeat” is for :-D
yes.
Back when I was 15, I met a great man at my work. This was his song. Every time he would come in he would order a hamburger and a long Island iced tea. One day as I was sitting outside smoking a cig he sat with me and we talked about life. This was his favorite song. He passed in a horrible accident as he was driving his semi in snowy weather up in the Texas panhandle. To this day, I play this song at least twice 8n his memory. Cheers brotha, this one's for you. You taught me to be a simple man.
Did he tell you to stop smoking cigarettes at the age of 15?
@@linoperez5816 why would that matter…?
My grandmother smoke at the age 11 and live to 98.
She died to heart failure. She smoke non filter camels.
My other grand mother died at 62 to lung cancer. She smoke weed and cigarettes.
@@seanbishop9273 Why would it matter? Because it's damaging to the lungs. That's why. My mom's dad died because of his lung damage from smoking before I was born. I don't know what age he was, but it was too young to be in that bad of shape. My other papaw quit smoking about 15 years ago, but he has bad COPD and got out of breath just from talking before being put on oxygen a couple months ago. My cousin (in his late 20s) has COPD from smoking. It hurts watching your loved slowly kill themselves with a bad habit
@@seanbishop9273 Even if it was not bad for your health, and it is extremely bad for your health, it smells really really bad. You as the smoker are the absolute last one to know how bad you smell. Even now, you're thinking, "I don't smell bad." Yep, you do. It's also a grand waste of money. Remember that longevity is one thing, but quality of life is quite another. Your voice changes and becomes way less clear. You get out of breath easily and did I mention: you smell really bad, as does all your clothing.
Lovely story, that. From Joseph in England x x x
I was watching Hawaii Five O, and they played this song. It touched me so much, I Googled it. And then listened to the whole song. It brought tears to my eyes, but I "listened" to it again, and again. I'm going to make sure, that when God call's me home. When they close my casket, and carry me out. "THIS," IS THE SONG THEY PLAY. Not that it matters, "or", maybe it does. I am a 60 year old Black Man, but "THIS" song, made me cry once I googled it, and listened to the whole song. It's "AMAZING", what certain songs can do for you. No matter the race, color, creed, or religion. Extremely, a "POWERFUL" song. I had three sisters, that has gone above the clouds. My Father, Mother, and a Daughter. My Mother had three daughters, and "one" son,,,,, "Me"!!! I am the last of her Legacy, 😢😢😢. But "this" song, will play over me
Yes this song resonates with many!! It touches on life but gives you spiritual insight to make it a truly unique and beautiful song! It’s just a song but it’s a metaphor for life. Funny I was just thinking about the group and I believe they are all dead except lead guitarist?? Thanks for your testimony.
55 years old soon and the first time i've heard this song absolutely love it !
I'm 62, just heard it now. Can't wait to play it to my 2x sons. Just waiting for the right moment. It's all I ever wanted for my sons. When others push them to be achievers, I teach them what is really important.
My step father just passed away this evening. After a long fight with cancer, he is at rest. This song embodies him. Simple, no non-sense, extremely hard working loyal. A great man.
May his memory be a continued blessing to you
My sincerest condolences. I too lost my father to Cancer January 2nd, 2023.
Sorry to hear this. My condolences :(
Screamed this song so many times until my children understood
God bless you❤
Some songs have the power of healing. This is one of them.

This is by far the best song ever written hands down
My father passed 1 yr ago, March 25th. 2021. That man was a simple man. He touched so many people, he didn't say much; didn't have to, but touched so many people. I've learned so much being his son. I love you dad, thank you for being a great example of what a father and a man should be like.
Sorry for your loss. May he rest in heaven
Beautiful post.. your ol' Boy would be well proud.. nice.. I believe that the soul is the good of you that lives on in others..

So incredibly sorry for your loss! God has you!
So so very sorry. My son is 35. He’s had a troubled life but is such a sweet soul. He’s hurt himself and his mom and I but we love him so much. I can’t imagine your loss❤
If they don't play this at my funeral, I ain't going.
Imagine if you just out and like waited a week to have another funeral until they played this song they'd be like "oh well here we go agian"
Hehe that made me laugh thanks
Lol😜
Ha Lol
Me Either LOL
When i was pregnant with my son i would play this song for him & he would always kick around & i could tell he liked it. when he was born i would play this song for him when he cried & he would immediately stop & listen. this is my sons comfort song and he is only 7 months old :,)
Philly
How is he doing today ma'am :)
F@#k you're beautiful...
Sounds a lot like me
Hi there so how long have you listened to this song for
I was a broken and lost kid in the 70's. I would listen to this song over and over again. It spoke to my soul and gave me comfort. What a beautiful video to go with it
My son died 6 years ago come March, and this was 1 of his favorites also... they have always told me that time will heal the pain, but this is a pain that never heals
This song makes me want to be the best father to my child.
Strange, this make me want to drink Budweiser and leave my child in a cloud of smoke from Firebird peeling out of the mobile home park.
@@Mike-ve4tx why not take him with you in the passenger seat ?
Great attitude brother, shame most folk dont share it 👍🏻
Highest and most respectable duty to a man. Love him and protect him well, raise him right and remember to enjoy him.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
To all you Young guitar players out there :
Never let these guys or there music pass away.
It's very very special
I'm trying to learn this song

This song is going to be the main reason I learn guitar
I'll always play lynyrd at my shows always gimme three steps, curtis loew the breeze and this one always.🥰🥰🥰
A masterpiece. I saw these guys live about 15 years ago, and when they broke into this song, I honestly cried. It's a simple song with a simple message. Now I'm 34 and still loving this song and its message. This song will live on for eternity. Thank you Lynard Skynard for this song
Америка подарила миру много талантливых музыкантов, но эти парни... открывая свою душу, открывают души всех! Добра, правды и любви всем, кто слушает и слышит этих парней!

i just wanna give my condolences to everyone that this song has a special meaning to. this is the song i chose for the mother and son dance at my wedding. it made my mom cry while we were dancing together when I told her this song reminded me of her. unfortunately, I lost my mom to cancer the day before my 33rd bday. everytime I play this song I can't help to cry and reminisce of how amazing of a mother she was. R.I.P. MOM..... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
Speechless...Respect.
I'm really sorry for your loss.

I am crying a river right now 😢
Can't deny that
I do every time no matter first or million time it hits me hard
hope wen my son gets out of prison for possesion, he will changehis life, told him im no longer an enabler
I lost my mother on 5-14-21 and I'm still unable to be happy about anything at all. I cry at the craziest times. and I miss her to the point I want to scream. This song (every line of the song) hits hard in my heart and offers me a brief period of peace because momma told me this all the way up the point of her transition. I LOVE YOU, MOMMA. and thank you LS for making this timeless classic.
Sorry for your loss man RIP to your moms ❤❤
@@iamg0d972 thank you bro! I accept your condolence 100%
Sorry for your loss brother.
@@cathalodiubhain5739 I appreciate that for real.
Im so sorry for your loss. May God enter your life to help guide you through your pain and out again.
My daddy passed away in October and now I play this song and cry when I'm missing him. Today and everyday I'll love and miss him!
I bought my mom 1 album/cassette tape/cd in her life and it was the one containing this song. I lost her this year on March 17th. They say losing people you love comes easier as time passes. Yet, here I am watching a song with the perfect video accompanying it. I'm sure things will improve over the years but I count my blessings that this exists when I have to fight through days like today. From the looks of these comments, I am not alone. I miss you mom.
My son is gone now. I told him I didn't have the wisdom in my own words but to listen to the lyrics and understand what a mother wishes for her son. This was our song and we listened to it together through our too short of years together. You are loved and missed son.❤
Sending you infinite love and motivation
Landon Hatton thanks for your service man❤️🇺🇸
@Landon Hatton wow couldn't even imagine that pain man stay strong
May he RIP 🙏
I'm so sorry I can't ever imagine losing a child I've lost my parents I have lost a brother and sister at very young ages and my husband a short three years ago but to lose a child I just can't imagine. I've always wondered if it was punishment from God until I was directed to James 1:13 which reads this way. When under trial let no one say I am being tried by God for with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. That sure gets you to thinking why do we suffer. And then after I read this other scripture it really made me start doing some digging that's Revelation 12:12 on this account be glad you heavens and you who reside in them woe for the Earth and for the sea because the devil has come down to you having great anger knowing that he has a short period of time. Think about that for a moment. For more information go to jw.org
One of the most powerfull message songs you'll ever hear.
This song and Dust in the Wind by Kansas are two powerful, spiritual songs sung by extraordinary singers.
My boyfriend, best friend, and favorite person ever passed away Wednesday. Please pray for him. This was his favorite song. This world was too harsh for his soft, sweet soul. 🤍 Until I see you again mi Amor. Thank you for loving me. 🤍
Mandatory attendance after Reacher S2 ending 👇🏻
Bringing all of us back to this song ❤️
I miss my mother she was a simple lady and I try to the best of me to be a simple man.If you still have your mother cherish the time you have with her.you only have one mother.when she is gone she is gone. and there is nothing you can ever say or do to bring her back. as a young man you will think you have all the time in the world. As you grow older you realize. this life is very short. Rest in peace mom
sorry for your loss
You got a slice of the song meaning, "simple things" like family are the bases for everything else.

A beautiful day. All friends and family members on both sides paid respect. A simple man always gets respect.It was amazing.after we played that song, a moment of silence, then church bells started chiming in distance. Everyone was like"WOW". Music from beyond.I of course, cryed tears of joy. My true love echoing.
Damn I'm sorry. Great song for the moment I would ball everytime I here this song if a close one played this at there funeral. Life's short try to be happy we all know it's a tough road to find happiness.....

I'm my mom's only son and she always sings this to me. so I finally sat down one day and listen to the lyrics and broke down. really touches the heart
Me to brother. And that's all I've tried to be. A Simple Man

@@atsf5035I wish i had this played at my son's funeral 9 years ago. He was 25 and have a video of him playing this song on one of his guitars. I just now learned the name of it and the lyrics which match he and i so well. I miss him soooo much! He was also close to grandparents, like you. God bless!
@@kimstrickland2761 very heart touching but do you know me?
One of the Greatest Songs Ever, rip Gary♥️🔥♥️😢🙏
Today would have been my mom’s 50th birthday. When I was a teenager, she had me listen to this song every day. She passed away from breast cancer almost five years ago, and I listen to this song every year on her birthday.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mom 😇
This was my son....a Simple man. Rest Easy Son.....until we meet again.....Mom

I can't believe it took me 23 years to finally hear this song. I guess all the mind-numbing music these days drowns out the masterpieces.
To the parents, grandparents and foster families who gave their best to raise their children... Thank you
Thank u ♥️♥️♥️
If I'm ever fortunate and blessed to become a father one day, this is one of the songs I'm gonna play my children
Ryan Brown Best of Luck Ryan👍
Ryan Brown you will
Ryan Brown My father sent this song to me and told me it was the truth and that I should think of him and all we have shared when he dies
Ryan Brown this is the first song I sang as a lullaby to my son. he's 17 now, and it's my ringtone when he calls me

Alongside AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the best rock bands that have ever rocked the globe and are still an indispensable part of rock music today. And that's a good thing because LYNYRD SKYNYRD live forever
My mother always used to listen to this and I remember being young and her telling me “boy, this is one of my favorites songs it reminds me of you. 💜😊” she passed away when I was a senior in high school… I was a troubled kid so all she wanted was for me to graduate… I graduated 5 months later and dedicated all of that to my mother.. I wouldn’t have made it if it wasn’t for her behind me, pushing me.. every step of the way, didn’t matter if I was 2 steps ahead or 369 steps behind she was there for me… Jan 25th of 2024 marked 8 years without her, boy do I miss her… I have a child that is 6 years old, she couldn’t wait for me to pop some babies out either. I love you mom. So much. This world sucks without you. 💯💯😢💯
Me and my brother knew this older man in Alabama that had a horse farm and we went to visit him. We called over about 10 of those horses and afterwards all three of us were sitting on this rock wall right outside the farm just watching the horses, it was probably 7 o'clock just as sun is going down, but this fourth guy just drove up because he knew the guy and we all were just sitting on that rock wall and Simple Man started playing and we just sat there and listened. That was a great moment in my life. Thanks Skynyrd
Bro I was born in 2006 and I listen to it. I'm 14 and most kids my age listen to rap
Epic moment.
I was just sitting on that rock wall with you as well. The random fourth guy, I felt his presence. Felt some social anxiety for a split second but then it all chilled out. Good vibes, thanks for the new memory.
GO UK !!!!!! Great story that leaves a lifelong memory dear. Rarely do you get one, hold on tight.
One of the best times of your life I bet
My momma dedicated this song to me. Her only son and on Monday I'll being playing this song at her Funeral. Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of her favorite bands. She must've seen them a Dozen times live growing up. Love you mommy. Rest in peace. 9/16/1957-7/9/20.
RIP , God bless you
Sorry for your loss
My mom 10-26-63 to 8-17-2020
She dedicated this song to me too 🥺😞

This song helps me not think of my dead dog
Missing my dad just a little extra tonight 😢
My husband told me while he was dying that he wanted this song played at his funeral. He died from alcoholism at 61 and just had his service, with this the key song in the video story of his life.
I sent this song to my son who was a member of the Coast Guard before he passed in May 2020... and he listened to me soo much, he was that ”a simple man” RIP Charles Ryan Waggie,, momma love you and thank you for serving our country!!!!❤️❤️
Wow!! God is Good! Because I didn’t know this many people would acknowledge my Comment! But His memorial is coming on May 1, 2021. And I thank everyone who liked my post. I miss my son soo bad! Please pray for me!! He was such a good child! Look him up, Charles Ryan Waggie! Thanks
RIP Charles Ryan Waggie. And thanks for serving our country!
I’m so so sorry for your loss Ma’am. I’ll keep you in my prayers tonight, under the name “T Faye”. I hope that you can find peace in this life.
Condolences and prayers to you and your family. So sad.
Thank you sir for your service god bless you and your family
I weep with you for your son momma. Yes God is good. May He comfort you in your unspeakable loss with that hope which is in Christ.
My mom just passed on Monday, November 8th, 2021 at the age of 56 unexpectedly. I've always felt that this song was one that speaks to me from her. She never introduced me to this band however I felt that this song in specific was my mom saying everything to me. My mom was my everything, my best friend, my rock, my support system. I never thought I would be faced with something like this, especially so soon. I'm 26 and to think I have to go through the next 50 to 60 years without her is going to be difficult. I love you mom. You will live forever.
SO SORRY I LOST MY MOM WHEN I WAS 25 NOW I AM 46 AND I STILL MISS HER SO MUCH
Your mom is from my Generation she pass on my birthday. I turned 56 and she will always be there for you .
I am sorry for your loss. I hope in your moments of peace you get to still feel her presence, and that in your struggles you know that she still watches over you.
I am so sorry linda
My mother died unexpectedly on March 7 2021. She was only 61. I feel exactly the same as you do, and she used to sing this song to me. I miss her with all my heart and soul. I know how you feel.
You do not mess with the Special Investigators
My son died 15 yrs ago and this was one of his favorite songs to play on his guitar, I played it at his funeral, he was only 20 yrs old, I'm sorry to hear about your son , god bless you with the strength to get get through it
No matter how many times you hear this,...... it never gets old
My Brother showed me this when I was young, around 13 maybe. It made a lot of sense, I understood what he was trying to tell me through the song. I knew it was a warning, to not live the kind of life that he lived. RIP, Bradley, I wish I could play bf3 with you and vibe to your incredible music taste. I love you Brother, I hate that this opioid crisis continues to take lives, like yours. I hate that so many years went by without you around. I still haven't properly grieved, when I try the pain is just too much and it never feels like I can get past it. He taught me things that I wouldn't have learned, because my Father was not in the picture. It shouldn't have ended like this, but your legacy of being a cool ass big Brother and a source of profound guidance will always live within me.
Your story touched me. I hope that you have a great life simple man.
Man, god bless you 🙏 and your brother soul.
He sounds like a good man and an amazing brother.
Just reading about him made me understand how much you love and respect him.
He will always be alive in your heart and soul..
Be strong and keep pushing forward..
Keep loving and remembering, this is the biggest respect we can offer..
My father passed not to long ago and this is how I deal with this
Let this song live through your veins and continue his legacy brother. Him showing you this song was meant to be. Continue the legacy with your future children and show them the same. We live in tough time brother, us on the other side with a good heart and soul need to teach the young the right way, to be a simple man.
Im so sorry for ur loss. I am my Mother's daughter! Ive always loved this song cuz it has so much meaning to me!! In August of 2018 my Mom passed away of dementia n a yr later i lost my dad, grandma n uncle! Ive always trid to live a simple life like my Mom did. Ive tried to instill that same idea into my daughters n now my 3 wonderful grandchildren!!
I understand your pain.. I lost my younget brother almost 2 years ago at 28 to fent y nal laced in to other pills. Not a day goes by I dont think of him.or miss him. This song always brought me great comfort and made me think of him... Prayers to you friend..
My heart and prayers are with you, the loss of a child is beyond comprehension.
I’m 15 I lost my mom brother and father they all loved this song
Stay strong! 🍀 You gonna make it.. and it will hurt less in time. Pay your respect by making something of your life that makes you happy.

I remember playing this for my son. My Johnny in the sky. Mama misses you.
