Georgia Fair Simple Man lyrics

I left my home town
Went back to basics
I had no friends now, what a shame
I wrote my mother, near every day
She didn't write back, not a page

I tore the place down
I tore the place down

And I hope your gonna come back some day
I can't go on living this way
I'm a simple man
I live afraid

Built my homestead
Mostly made of
Wooden planks that I had found
I brought my girlfriend but she just left me
And only served to make me feel down

I tore the place down
I tore the place down


And I hope your gonna come back some day
I can't go on living this way
I'm a simple man
I live afraid

I tore the place down and you don't mind
It only made it easier for me to find
And that was just the summer now
you got up and you're gone
I tore the place down the other day
It only made it easier for me to say
And that was just the summer now
you got up and you're gone

And I hope your gonna come back some day
I can't go on living this way
I'm a simple man
I live afraid
