Simple Man

February 13, 2018 by Jeane George Weigel

Putting this out there for a very dear friend on his path to finding simplicity… Love you always…

Songwriters: RonnieVan Zant/ Gary Robert Rossington


Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It’ll help you some sunny day.
Take your time… Don’t live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
You’ll find a woman, you’ll find love,
And don’t forget son,
There is someone up above.

(Chorus)

And be a simple, kind of man.
Be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust, for the rich man’s gold
All that you need, is in your soul,
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Boy, don’t you worry… you’ll find yourself.
Follow your heart, and nothing else.
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Be a simple, be a simple man.
Be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man. (Fade out)

Happy Valentine’s Day !

Love to you all,

Jeane

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
