Man Of Simple Pleasures

I’m a man

A man of simple pleasures

I got all I need

So give me whiskey measures

With dyslexic eyes

I’m seeing very clearly by the way

I’m on my way

But all of my life

I’ve been treated like a fool

But I’m no one’s fool

Here I go once again

Trying hard to pretend

There’s a future in your man-made rules

I’ll be governed by the road

Get to shed this heavy load

I see no future

So leave me alone in the past

I am told

The world is nearly ending

But when I look outside

The birds are always singing

You throw sticks and bones

Remember every dog will have his day

I’m on my way

But all of my life

I’ve been treated like a fool

But I’m no one’s fool

Here I go once again

Trying hard to pretend

There’s a future in your man-made rules

I’ll be governed by the road

Get to shed this heavy load

I’ve seen your future

So leave me alone in the past

Go on

Let the righteous guide you home

To where you belong

That’s where I belong

You won’t take me for a ride

I’m far too fast for you to keep up with me

You won’t take me for a ride

Never catch the man that need no money

I’m not gonna be standing in the line

Waiting for you just to pick me out

You won’t take me for a ride

You won’t take me for a ride

I’ll come down
