John McCutcheon Simple Man
I don't wanna be a hero
And I don't wanna be a king
And I don't need a lot of money
And I don't need a lot of things
I don't need to be the bossman
Don't need to be no number one
Just need to know that I am needed
Just need to have a little fun
CHORUS
I haven't got a fancy history
I haven't got much of a plan
Sure I got hopes and I got dreams
Still albeit what I may seem
I am a simple man
I need someone that I can talk to
Someone who knows my name
Someone who'll catch me when I'm falling
Someone who'll warn me when I'm strained
I just need a little loving
Just need a little sane
And some quiet and a cold one
At the ending of my day
CHORUS
A place to put my feet up
And a nice hot shower
And someone to reach out to
In the darkest hour
Just need a place where I can hide
A place where I can turn
And when I'm lost and forgotten
I need a place where I return
Just need some food when I am hungy
Just need some warmth when I am cold
I need a friend when I am lonely
Need some time when I am old
I need some wisdom when I'm foolish
Need some joy when I am blue
Don't need nothing half so much these days
As I know that I need you
CHORUS
CHORUS
I am a simple man
I am a simple man
