Simple Man

He's a man
 Some would say an outlaw
 But underneath the surface
 A simple man, doing what he can
 He goes to work
 Early in the morning up with the sun
 He's working his fingers to the bone.
 He's a workingman, doing what he can
 Barely gets by with a roof over his head
 Stays with his cousin and a couple of his friends
 He doesn't speak the language that we're used to hearing
 No, he's a simple man doing the best he can
 Who's to blame
 Is it the mother looking for a better life
 Or looking for a better way
 Don't we all dream the same
 There may be trouble
 Cause he's walking along a fine line
 Between freedom and doing time
 A desperado with no crime
 When the stakes got high he became a gambling man
 Nowhere to go and nothing left to loose
 He took a chance hoping he would find
 He'd find a better place and he'd find a better time
 He's got faith stronger than you'll ever know
 Take his pride but you'll never take his soul
 You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
 He's a simple man, doing the best he can
 Yea he's got faith stronger than you'll ever know
 Take his pride but you can never never never never take his soul
 You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
 Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can
 Yea he's a simple man
 You can call him an outlaw
 You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man
 Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can
 Doing the best he can
