Simple Man

He should have seen it coming when their love grew old
Wife and kids they left him and the house got sold
The silence getting louder, nightfall comes too soon
He lost everything, now shooting bullets at the moon

Saw her leaving with another man
Two smiling faces walking hand in hand
When your imagination gets the best of you
When it's too much to take
Like from a nightmare you awake
And a hole in your shoe

When all is said and done
Live a life on the run
Does anybody know his name?
Once he set out to be free
Now he's down on his knees
And got no one else to blame
The wine and the light with no plan
He's just a simple man
He's just a simple man

Right time, wrong place, still not meant to be
The dreams got run over by reality
Whatever destination that he might choose
The hole in his heart just like the holes in his shoes
Got him singing the blues (He's singing the blues)

Yes, when all is said and done
Live life on the run
Does anybody know his name? (Know his name)
Once he set out to be free
Now he's down on his knees
And got no one else to blame
Just some wine and some smoke for the pain
Of a simple man

Hey
Ooh
He's just a simple man
He's just a simple man

Simple man
Doing all that he can
Doing all that he can
He's just a simple man

We're all simple men
A simple man
Oh, we're all just simple men
