Merle Haggard - The Way I Am lyrics

rate me

Wish I was 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 bein' the way I am.

Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,

Did what I do with a willin' hand.

Some would run, ah, 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',

So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.

I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
