the way i am

wish i were down

on some blue bayou

with a bamboo cane stuck in the sand

but the road i'm on

don't seem to go there

so i just dream

keep on being the way i am

wish i enjoyed

what makes my living

and what i do

with a willing hand

some would run

but that ain't like me

so

i just dream

keep on being the way i am

the way i am

don't fit my shackles

the way i am

reality

i can almost see

that bobber dancin'

so

i just dream

keep on being the way i am

the way i am

don't fit my shackles

the way i am

reality

i can almost see

that bobber dancin'

so

i just dream

keep on being the way i am

yeah

i just dream

and keep on being the way i am. yoo da lay eee. yoo da lay eee.
