(hope it's okay to put this in this section) :)

Simple Kind Of Man

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 will help you some sunny day.
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.

(Chorus)

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
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 if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

    I was driving up from Tampa
    When the radiator burst
    I was three sheets to the wind
    A familiar song and verse
    And then there was the cop
    And then the children standing on the corner
    Your love is like a cyclone in a swamp
    And the weather's getting warmer

    I was getting out of jail
    Heading to the Greyhound
    You said you'd hop on one yourself
    And meet me on the way down
    I was shaking way too hard to think
    Dead on my feet about to drop
    Went and got the case of vodka from a car
    And walked the two miles to the bus stop

    Got on the bus half drunk again
    The driver glared at me
    Met up with you in Inglis
    Thumbed a ride to Cedar Key
    If we never make it back to California
    I want you to know I love you
    But my love is like a dark cloud full of rain
    That's always right there up above you
    Hey!
    The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

    I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    That Smell
    Written by Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant


    Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
    Oak tree you're in my way
    There's too much coke and too much smoke
    Look what's going on inside you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you

    Angel of darkness is upon you
    Stuck a needle in your arm
    So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
    One more drink fool, will drown you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you

    Now they call you Prince Charming
    Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
    Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
    But tomorrow might not be here for you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you

    Hey, you're a fool you
    Stick them needles in your arm
    I know I been there before

    One little problem that confronts you
    Got a monkey on your back
    Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
    One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
