Simple Man - John McCutcheon

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

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

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

I am a simple man

I am a simple man
