Primitive Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you break it to your Mama
Break it to her gently
You wouldn't wanna break her heart
When you lay it on you Daddy
Make sure he ain't been drinkin'
Or he's liable to tear something apart
Make it clear before I walk up you walk
I didn't just crawl out from under a rock
But I'm a primitive man, I don't need much
Food and fire and my woman's touch
Warmed by the sun, cooled by the rain
Gunnin' for pleasure and runnin' from pain
I'm a easy ridin', truck drivin', law abidin'
Primitive man
I hope you won't be offended
If we just go fishin'
At that little bend on Crenshaw creek
Then head out some old dirt road
Runnin' for the sunset
Just you and my truck and me
We might end up out on Lover's Lane
Me Tarzan, you Jane
I'm a primitive man, I don't need much
Food and fire and my woman's touch
Warmed by the sun, cooled by the rain
Gunnin' for pleasure and runnin' from pain
I'm a easy ridin', truck drivin', law abidin'
Primitive man
Tell me what's the world comin' to
What's a pretty girl like you doin' with…
A primitive man, I don't need much
Food and fire and my woman's touch
Warmed by the sun, cooled by the rain
Gunnin' for pleasure and runnin' from pain
I'm a easy ridin'
Truck drivin'
Law abidin'
Yeah, well I'm …
A primitive man, I don't need much
Food and fire and my woman's touch
Warmed by the sun, cooled by the rain
Gunnin' for pleasure and runnin' from pain
I'm a easy ridin', truck drivin', law abidin'
Primitive man
I'm a primitive man
I'm a primitive man
I'm a primitive man
