Mamma's Simple Plan

Every single time I hear that song, it always brings tears to my eyes. I'm not sure if it's the singers voice as he carries on, or the lyrics to the words that he cries. A simple kind of man, is something all men should be. Momma's wish this for their sons future plans in a prayer that they may one day see. As men search this world for a woman, they may someday share with their love. The love they are always searching for only seems to come from up above. Do nothing but follow the love in your heart, though at times it may be hard to control. For it was a gift given you from the very start, that will help you to carry that heavy load. This world that we now live in, we may live a little bit to fast. For problems always seem to happen, and sometimes they forever last. Spending your days searching for wealth, does nothing for the goodness of your soul. With it you can't buy yourself new health, in those weary days as your body grows old. Momma's only want their sons to live a simple life, without any worry they will get to out of hand. Always stay loyal to the woman you love and call your wife, and keep your momma happy, living life as a simple man.
