Lyle Lovett is an americana singer-songwriter and actor from Klein, Texas, who has been described as "the thinking man's cowboy". While typically associated with the alt-country genre, his albums typically incorporate folk, swing, blues, jazz and gospel music as well as more traditional country & western styles. The Night's Lullaby Songfacts reports that after twenty-six years with Curb, Lyle Lovett released his eleventh and last album for the record label, Release Me, on February 28, 2012.

This is from memory, so I hope I haven't butchered this one too badly, particularly the lyrics....As with everything I post this is transposed into a key I can sing it in, you'll have to change it to do it in the same key as the recording.
Simple Song - Lyle Lovett
AminCG It's a simple song for simple feelings AminCE7 You see the moon and you watch it rise FCG Across the continent a night bird sings AminE7Amin And someone somewhere hears its cry
AminCG Disillusioned, keep your head down AminCE7 'Cause if you do they'll never know FCG You'll have no answers to their questions AminE7Amin And they will have to let you go
AminCG Disenfranchised revolution AminCE7 Take away by right what's yours FCG They make you martyrs of your own cause AminE7Amin But they don't know what cause its for
AminCG All deserted stand alerted AminCE7 They'll love you when you're all alone FCG You find a red rose in the morning light AminE7Amin But wait the night and find it gone
AminCG So hear my words with faith and passion AminCE7 For what I say to you is true FCG When you find the one you might become AminE7Amin Remember part of me is you
