John Corbett - Simple Man Lyrics
There's a light on in the kitchen, again she's sittin' upCrossword's on the table, coffee in the cupShe finds another word for waiting as he pulls into the driveShe ain't really all that angry, she's just glad that he's aliveNow he's standin' at the back door, straightening his hatHaving looked well for the ky that used to be under the matAnd she's working on that crossword, fightin' back a smileFind another word for sober, let him sit out there a whileTwenty years of give and take, twenty years of working hardPuttin' groceries on the table, plantin' maypoles in the yardHe is falling of the wagon, but he won't stay down too longHe'd rather die a thousand deaths than ever do his woman wrongNow they're not too much to look at, skins too long in the sunBut they've weathered well together, and when all is said and doneIt's still two spoons of sugar and carnation in the canShe says "your coffee's on the table, now get in here you simple man"Simple man, simple man, he's just doing the best that a simlpe man can doThe bacon's in the skillet and the cakes are in the panGet in here you simple man
