The Way I Am Lyrics

Merle Haggard The Way I Am Lyrics

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 and keep on being the way I am.
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,
Did what I do with willing hands.
Some would run, oh but that ain't like me,
So I just dream and 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 dancing,
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
INSTRUMENTAL
*Repeat Chorus*
I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
Yodelaaaeeeeey, Yodel Oh del ayeeeeeee (to fade)
