Simple Man 03:38
lyrics
buy track
In the trees On a mountain slope I see myself In the campfire smoke Thinking I could lay down, Die right here I ain’t got no fear I see the hills That are far away I see the nighttime Turn to day I see the water Melt into the sky Shine so bright And the greatest thing of all Is to sit so very still Try if you can Be a simple man I don’t need to Brush my hair I don’t need to Think or care All I need’s the sunshine And a smile And hope it lasts a while Yeah, I don’t need The finer things All I need’s my Guitar strings To sing a little Hippy song about Peace and love Flying high above And I wouldn’t trade it for the world The peace that I have found Stick to the plan Be a simple man Why are we just living Life this way? It’s an endless rat race Day after day What happened to tomorrow? What happened to us all? There’s babies dying All the time People walking Right on by And some would call this living What are we living for? Well I’m living for tomorrow And I’m living just to be To be a simple man

Life is a Train 03:45
lyrics

Life is a train, boy Not much to say, boy Life’s just a big long train Life is a train boy But don’t look away Or else you’ll miss the show You’ll pass Gentle springs Summers full of flings Autumns full of rain Don’t care what winter brings It won’t bring you pain The sun’s gonna melt the snow You’ll see Trees so green Mountains big and mean Clouds that won’t slow down They just fly so free Without a single sound Over sunsets crimson gold You’ll pass Rivers wide Birds up in the sky Little sleepy towns There’s people living life But living full of doubt They need a hand to hold Life is a train, and there ain’t no looking back Leave your pain behind And though this little train, rides on a crooked track Roll on past that horizon line I’ve been Young and old I’ve been big and bold I’ve felt the weight of the world on my soul But never once did I fold I kept on marching through the snow Until I saw the other side Life is a train, and there ain’t no looking back Leave your pain behind And though this little train, rides on a crooked track Roll on past that horizon line Life is a train, and there ain’t no looking back Leave your pain behind And though this little train, rides on a crooked track Roll on past that horizon line Roll on past that horizon line Roll on past that horizon line

Don't Worry, Mamma! 03:47
lyrics

[Cough] I don’t know what I been told But all this glitter, it ain’t gold The American dream, that was sold to me Died a long long time ago But don’t get me wrong, I nine to five I work to survive But when I’m off the clock, well I’d like to stop All my thoughts, and just unwind So Mamma Don’t you worry, please don’t you fret I’ll be fine just smoking on them Funny smelling cigarettes So Mamma Don’t you worry, please don’t you fret I’ll be fine just smoking on them Funny smelling cigarette It don’t Make me dumb, it don’t make me mean It helps me feel at ease Mamma don’t you cry, just see my side Where the grass is always green Some drink beer, and some use wine With the exact same goal in mind To drown it out, all the pain and doubt When the world is just unkind So Mamma Don’t you worry, please don’t you fret I’ll be fine just smoking on them Funny smelling cigarette So Mamma Don’t you worry, please don’t you fret I’ll be fine just smoking on them Funny smelling cigarette Mamma tell me what I’m supposed to do When the whole dark world gets cruel Mamma tell me how I’m supposed to find A little peace of mind Mamma tell me what I’m supposed to do When the whole dark world gets cruel Mamma tell me how I’m supposed to find A little peace of mind Well mamma I don’t wanna fucking waste away I don’t really wanna work and die for pay They say a man that ain’t working ain’t worth a dime Well the work ain’t worth my time So Mamma Don’t you worry, please don’t you fret I’ll be fine just smoking on them Funny smelling cigarette So Mamma Don’t you worry, please don’t you fret I’ll be fine just smoking on them Funny smelling cigarette

Freedom (Break These Chains) 05:44
lyrics
buy track
Working in the fields for the past seven days Breaking my back digging ditches in the clay They got my feet in shackles and they got my Heart in chains So I pray Everyday Break these chains Sweet God Almighty won’t you break these chains Spare this tired sinner of his awful pain I’ll give up the gambling and the drinking and my Haggard ways So I pray Change my ways Break these chains Freedom: it shines like the Northern Star Freedom: it beats in my war-torn heart You can’t know your freedom til You’ve had yours stripped away I feel like an eagle in a small bird cage I dream of the sky but all I see is gray Will someone let this eagle fee and let me Fly away So I pray Fly away And break these chains (Then I hear a small voice whisper) Prison is a mindset, you don’t have to stay This labyrinth of the world is just a dull corn maze With love as a fire, you can set the World ablaze So I pray For the blaze To break these chains Freedom: it shines like the Northern Star Freedom: it beats in my war-torn heart You can’t know your freedom til You’ve had yours stripped away Freedom: it shines like the Northern Star Freedom: it beats in my war-torn heart You can’t know your freedom til You’ve had yours stripped away You can’t know your freedom til You’ve had yours stripped away So I pray Oh I pray For better days

Material Girl 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Some boys hug me Some boys kiss me I think they're ok If they don't give me proper credit I just walk away They can beg and they can plead But they can't see the light 'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash Is always Mister Right And we’re living in a material world I am a material, girl We’re living in a material world I am a material, girl Some boys slow dance Some boys romance That's all right with me If they can't raise my interest I have to let them be Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play Only boys who save their pennies Can make my rainy day 'Cause we're living in a material world I am a material, girl We're living in a material world And I am a material, girl Some boys come and some boys go But that's all right you see Experience has made me rich And now they're after me We’re living in a material world And I am a material, girl We’re living in a material world And I am a material, girl We’re living in a material world And I am a material, girl We’re living in a material world And I am the material, girl

When the Chickens Come Home to Roost 03:36
lyrics

Oh when the chickens Come home to roost Let ‘em roost Let ‘em roost And when you’re ducks Fall out of line That’s just fine It’ll be alright And when you find your little world Built with your own hands Come crashing To the ground Remember You can build it up again Just start anew right now And when the sky Raining cats and dogs Go whole hog Go whole hog And when your horse Don’t want a drink Tell his shrink What you think And when you find your little world Built with your own hands Come crashing To the ground Remember You can build it up again Just start anew right now And when you’re lost And you can’t be found Turn around Turn around When your love Has crumpled up and died Don’t you cry It’ll be alright And when you find your little world Built with your own hands Come crashing To the ground Remember You can build it up again Once your peace is found

Holy Mountain 05:23
lyrics
buy track
Quiet in the streets Darkness below There are troubled people In troubled homes Cities full of strangers And billboard signs Asking where I’m going At the end of times Well, I don’t know If there’s a place I can even go They say there’s a holy mountain They say there’s a promised land They say they’ve got milk and honey And a dance hall with an old time country band The Lion and the lamb The leopard and goat They all brave the storm Together on this little boat Coyote and a calf A baby and a snake They will play together Please make no mistake If you want peace and love Don’t you realize You’ve gotta give a piece of Heaven To all of those that you despise If your lack of faith just won’t allow We can try and build that place right now Cause they say there’s a holy mountain They say there’s a promised land They say they’ve got milk and honey And a dance hall with an old time country band Let’s climb up that holy mountain Let’s go to the promised land We can drink all the milk and honey And dance along to that old time country band

about

"My Guitar & Me & A Little Philosophy" is B Man at his most bare bones. The third album is an attempt to capture B Man in simple form: a guitar, himself, and his little philosophies. Every sound captured is B Man's voice and his trusty red Epiphone Guitar recorded in his little attic apartment. Each track contains wisdom that B Man has gleaned on his short time here on Earth. Swirling chaos, darkness, pain, and confusion are the hallmarks of a modern world not built for the human soul. All that B Man has to offer is his little songs, and the hope that peace can be achieved with our little hearts and our little love we have to give.
