Lobo - A Simple Man Lyrics

Times were simple and so great in this era I grew up in and it the sixties but the seventies were one of the best ever..life was good and prices were so cheap to what they have today..and the people that never experienced this era will never know how great it was..and this music will live on forever..not like the stuff they have now a days. 😊

had this album...lend it ...wish i still had it...

Another early 70's pop gem. 😎

Relinda, grande lobo.

Ditto for me. K-tel 22 Explosive hits. :-)

Still listening to the songs of Lobo in 2019....he’s brilliant 👍

He says this was written because of something his wife said: "Where do...."

I was in the 8th grade in 1972 when my brother had these songs on eight track in his 1968 impala. big time memories!!!!

Very good song, wonderful voice

When I was performing this was always on my list. So love this song.

I have the single album! This and I'd love you to want me...

Awesome simple lyrics and beastly guitar.

one of the best Lobo songs.

Lobo is a great artist and son writer, his music spans the ages.

What is a son writer? Is that a writer who is a son?

Lobo....a very talented songwriter with amazingly beautiful shiny hair! This album cover was certainly intended to show his best asset!

Awesome, loved this song as a kid!

Grew up listening to this guy...loved him!

Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Who goes around & tucks in the trains?
What makes a teddy bear like to sleep?
Why do we all make promises that we can't keep?

Where do puppy dogs go when their sad?
And what do elephants say when their mad?
Who do you tell if you don't have a friend?
Why do we open our mouths and stick our foot in?

These are the things that bother me,
Not a lot of things across some sea,
I don't even have a master plan,
I guess that I am just a simple man.

Where do robins sleep on the road?
And how can a little ant carry that load?
Why write words that we have to erase?
Why does everyone have more than one face?

This song was on an album called 22 Explosive Hits, but there was another K-tel record called Fantastic.

Janice Mundy hell yeah

This song was on an album called 'Of a Simple Man' in 1973

Awesome!

It takes me back to my youth and my girl. It was so awesome to be that young.

couldn't understand why there is so less views ???

Take me back two the 70s Boo and A tank of gas . aaahhhhhhh roll down the windows

What a voice!!!. How can l find the right words to explain how much l love this music of Lobo ? Thank you for loading !  Just start the music and take care of your soul mate ,oh yes .

Fuck Michael Jackson Bruno Justin Keith Richards

not on their hits though...members on the hits were barry winslow, chris nunley, tom richards , bill balough, and billy taylor

A tribute to my father-in-law....I've since learned how to play it on guitar....we've lost the true meaning of songs...but this captures something that noone now grasps...A Simple Man..."The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis"

how about posting this song with lyrics

I have the original vinyl LP and wouldn't trade it for anything.

I uised to have one.

And 'Introducing", and 'Calumet' and 'A Cowboy'. Hindsight is a great kicker of arses.

I have a original LP .

can be downloaded on amazon

lobo was a member of the Royal Gaurdsmen.

i have a request:
i was hoping one among you wouldn't mind being used to upload:
artist: lobo
album: of a simple man
the whole album, please?

I obtained this and other Lobo selections by recording this from 8 track to cassette back in 1973-- then recently burned it to CD

... and yes, I believe it was 22 'Explosive' Hits. Was there another K-tel abum called '22 Fantastic Hits'? Either way... well done!!! What an under-appreciated and happy song!

I've been looking for this song for almost 40 years and, yes, that's where I heard it as well (on that K-Tel album)!! Thanks for posting and thanks for completing me! Lol! Ahhhhh... wonderful memories.

as did i lol

22 explosive hits. I had that too when I was a kid. The commercial for it is on youtube.

This is the same version I remember...also from a K-Tel album....which I still own!!! 22 Fantastic Hits!!!
