You can take a boy out of the filth But that don't make him clean You could make my life easier, baby But that don't make it any less I've seen Just cause your acting so nice Don't mean you'll get a thing from me Don't throw your pennies in the wishing well Cause what you get is what you see Lord I'm a simple man Ain't too much I need I ain't asking for all of your love Give me what you can and set me free Your scream and crying all night long Lord your killing me I never meant to put you down I never gave you any reason to grieve Sometimes when I feel so boxed in I want to go and take a ride Grab the keys and my cigarettes And disapear into the night Lord I'm a simple man Ain't too much I need I ain't asking for all of your love Give me what you can and set me free Ahh, c'mon and set me free You can lead this old horse to a bar And you can buy me a drink You can lead me just 'bout anywhere Sometimes I'm just too tired to think Never took anything from you That I couldn't return twice Now I understand why I never listen to my own advice Lord I'm a simple man Ain't too much I need I ain't asking for all of your love Give me what you can and set me free I ain't asking for all your love I ain't asking for all your love I ain't asking for all of your love Give what you can and set me free
