Simple Man
1955 in Boston down at St.Elizabeth'sMy momma took me homeTo the three deckeracross from the playgroundWhere the townies slepttheir wives were keptIn the Whiskey Point part of townMy old man was a fire-fighterstation house #4In 69 our close friend Joedrowned on a dareSwimmin' across the reservoirEverybody sit out on the schoolyard stepsDealin' Jacks or Betterwhile the older cooler guysSurvived high schoolwent to war in VietnamI could have been a mystery writerA singer in a rock-n-roll bandSongtexteFloored you for a ten countlike a prize figher Take it deep in Fenway for a grand-slamOh no! I'm just a simple manThe Simple man finds a simple girlThey do the right thingdown at the V.F.W HallAnd everyone dances till midnight My Uncle Walter starts the first fightWhen its all done and overDown to St.Vincent's to confessThat Whiskey Point hangoverGood for ten Hail Mary's I guessStick to the game planIm just a simple manAll roads down Harvard StreetLead over High Street HillLittle Stevie takes your actionAt Foley's Bar and GrillHe'd look you in the eyeSaid always understand boyYou were born to carry onYou're just a simple manI could have been a mystery writerA singer in a rock-n-roll bandFloored you for a ten countlike a prize fighterTake it deep in Fenwayfor a grand slamOh No! Im just a simple man
