This song is one that describes one part of my personality pretty well. As much as I want to do big things and have my big ideas turn out someday, I'm pretty simple at the heart of everything. I don't need a lot of fancy things or a lot of money. I mean, that would be fine, but I don't need it to get by. The song also describes what it's like for a person like me to be with a person that's a little more demanding in their needs. They just don't get it, and I don't get them.
"I Am a Simple Man" was the first single from Shelton's 1991 album, Backroads. It became his eighth #1 hit on the country charts. I think its success shows once again how country reaches its audience in a very particular way. It touches a part of the person's personality or character in the way a lot of other music doesn't. The kind of mentality described in the song is one that is shared by a lot of people that are country music fans.
