    That was my song for my son. Years ago he was in a coma and now has a traumatic brain injury and took 7 years for him to relearn but he has always and still can sing it word for word. Tell your children you love them every day. ❤️

      We moved to Jacksonville about 3 years before the crash, we used to be able to go to the park and hear them play, just because they could and Jax was their home town. They were judged a lot because of their pride in that southern flag as a southern band, yet were as far from racist as anyone can get...

    This was the song my wife played for her son over and over as he was growing up and what she asked of him. While on his first overseas deployment in the Army he had a chance to call home one night. When she answered she said hello and nothing more. I looked over at her and she was tearing up but not speaking. After a couple minutes she said "I love you and am so proud you" and hung up. I asked what that was about and she said it was her son and he said "I only have a few minutes mom, just listen to this". He played this song then said "I listened to you and love you mom. Don't worry about me." Then had to hang up.

    On my 16th birthday my mom gave me a cassette tape of the pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd album and a matchbox Porsche. There was a card with breakfast. A note inside the card said listen to Simple Man first and I wish I could give you this car. Outside was my dad’s old work car with a bad transmission and a big red bow on it. That was the cleanest and shinyiest it had been in years. On that day Simple Man became my most favorite song ever. Just months after my 19th birthday she died of cancer. I miss her every bit as much today as I did at funeral. God I really wish she had the chance to know her grandchild. Love and miss you momma

    Being 62 now and raising 3 boys in the Texas farmlands, I am beyond impressed seeing how this song impacts you, just like it does the rest of us. My own mother (Rest her soul) gave me this same message in 1971 when we were very poor. I listened, and I passed it on to my boys. I find peace in knowing my sons will do the same. It's a message, it's a ballad, It's a moral culture. Those that tear up actually get it.

I thought she might, and I wanted to see it. Simple Man. She told me never ask for anything, work for what you want. Find love. And pray to the lord. For the lord always will love you. Always.

    I am my mother’s oldest child and only son. My mom might not have said all these words, exactly (Although many of them she did), but she did express these exact thoughts over and over. Every guy I know around my age, with a strong Christian mother like I have, feels the way I do about this song. My mom mostly raised the three of us kids by herself, in addition to raising a fourth adult (My dad was a paranoid schizophrenic and it was, many times, like mom had a fourth kid to raise). She had that situation, plus we were on a very small budget for five people. We were getting $1000 per month for five of us (Social Security Disability) during my senior year in high school. Yet we ate well, we had what we needed and, as I told you, mom always gave us the best advice. My mother is the most beautiful soul I have met on this earth, and I don’t expect to meet a more beautiful one while I am alive. She isn’t perfect, but she is the most truly good person I have ever known. I Love You, Patricia Lee Henry.

She loved her son deeply & for sure changed his life with her words! What a blessing to have that kind of love from a mother! I wish all children were able to feel that at least once in they’re life!! There are so many who haven’t & many who never will! My kids are grown. I have 3 grandchildren now & for me I’m blessed to see my daughter share this kind of love & care to them…There’s nothing like a Mother’s 💕 love!! If u haven’t reacted yet to Free-bird by Skynyrd you should! Another very moving song & 1 of my favorites is “Curtis Lowe” you won’t regret it! God bless & have a beautiful week!✌🏻out 🦋

    Shinedown did a nice acoustic cover of this, but the emotion of these lyrics deserves the heaviness of this version.. This song is already important to me, but soon, unfortunately, it may become even more important. My mom is 82 and is suffering from dementia. I don’t know how much longer I will see her in this life. So this song will be one of my biggest reminders of her when she is gone. Let me start another comment to explain why.
