The Boneyard: Simple Man

May 27, 2012 | Damon Yaffe

I fell in love with this song many years ago (Bad Company – Simple Man…listen here: http://youtu.be/3HVG02pFMCo). I’m falling in love with this majestic animal, more and more as each day passes. Watching him sell out down the stretch at Pimlico was, is one of the better – top 10 – sports moments I’ve ever witnessed up close and personal. I was awed, inspired, and brought to tears to see and “feel” the greatness in his effort. “I’ll Have Another”, just a simple man…working on the land…and soon, after making a run for all the glory and immortality a possible Triple Crown win can heap upon him, this amazing athlete will be allowed to live free, easy and in peace.

I am just a simple man, working on the land
Oh it ain’t easy
I am just a simple man, working with my hands
Oh believe me

 

 

Freedom is the only thing means a damn to me
Oh you can’t fake it
Freedom is the only song, sings a song for me
Oh we’re gonna make it

 

 

I am just a simple man, trying to be me
Oh it ain’t easy
I am just a simple man, trying to be free
Oh believe me

 

 

 

Freedom is the only thing means a damn to me
Oh you can’t fake it
Freedom is the only song, sings a song for me
Oh we’re gonna make it

 

 

I am just a simple man, working on the land
Oh it ain’t easy
I’m just a simple man, working with my hands
Oh baby, believe me

 

 

 

I’m just a simple man, yeah yeah
Freedom is the only thing means a damn to me
I’m just a simple man, yeah…
