the way i am

wish i was down on some blue bayou

with a bamboo cane stuck in the sand

but the road i'm on

it don't seem to go there

so i just dream

keep on bein' the way i am

wish i enjoyed what makes my living

did what i do with a willin' hand

some would run

naw but that ain't like me

so i just dream and keep on bein' 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 bein' 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'

i just dream

keep on bein' the way i am
