I'm just a simple man
I do the best I can
I'm just a simple man
Got no attention span
Wash my windows, clean my floors
Go outside then back indoors
I'm paralyzed, I'm just not sure
What I'm terrified from, I can't ignore
I'm just a simple man
Got no attention span
God made a simple man
I'm just part of his plan
Now that I have done my chores
Who's the T.V. asking for
I'm paralyzed, I'm just not sure
What I'm terrified from, I won't explore
I dream dreams at night that I can't recall
I turn on the light, walk down the hall
Standing at the sink, I let it run
Listen to it think, it speaks in tongues, it's done
Tie my robe up tight and walk outside
Stars are shining bright where they reside
I pull out my hair but it grows
I recite a prayer that I know and it goes . . .
