Content

The narrator's spouse/girlfriend confronts him after a long, tiring day at work, wanting to start an argument by telling him he's hard to understand.

The narrator doesn't want a fight, and responds by telling her he's not hard to understand at all – so long as he has "a job and a piece of land/three squares [three meals] in my frying pan" he's very easy to please.

Chart performance

"I Am a Simple Man" reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and on The Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.
