re: Being a simple kind of man

Mama told me when I was young
"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"

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, 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, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"......

Lynyrd Skynyrd.

TIL Artimus Pyle was a squared away Marine

quote:

---

He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1968. He was named platoon and series honorman and promoted to private first class following completion of boot camp in San Diego. Eyeing a career in civil aviation, Pyle worked as an avionics mechanic at various military bases, including Millington, Tennessee and Beaufort, South Carolina, ultimately rising to the rank of sergeant. He was honorably discharged in 1971, after his father was killed [1] in a mid-air collision with a U.S. Air Force B-57 weather reconnaissance bomber over New Mexico.[4]

Being a simple kind of man
Like that song by skynnrd.

To me this is the essence of what it means.

Wear camo
Have a deer lease
Listen to real country music like Jason Aldean (not that golden oldie crap)
Jacked up truck tires
Be shorter than 5'10"
Bring tents and yeti coolers to the mardi Gras parade
Domestic lagers
Spend all fall at the camp
Mix it up with the boys on the weekends
Never be late to pick up your kids when it's your weekend
Say the blessing before you eat on Thanksgiving and Christmas
Cry when a Nascar legend passes away
Stand for the pledge

I bet you thought you's is funny, huh?

You are an idiot

I don’t get the hate for people going to gulf shores, Perdido key, destin for a family vacation. It everyone lives in the beach and not everyone can afford to go to The British Virgin Islands or the four seasons Maui for family vacation

There's nothing wrong with vacationing on the redneck riviera, there's a problem with putting a fricking 30A sticker on your car.

Skynyrd sucks

they were OK up until about '77

Just say MAGA and everyone knows how simple you are without any of the other redneck stuff you mention.

To actually understand that our great nation is currently under the greatest threat in its history, does not make one a socialist sir. To not be able to see it does make one "simple" however.

Isn't that little man syndrome?

Oh and Jason Aldean isn't country.

Wille Waylon and Johnny Cash, now that's country!
