The Way I Am - Merle Haggard

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…
