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, but that ain´t like me 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
And I guess I grew up a loner Don´t remember ever having any folks around So I keep thumbing through the phone books And looking for my daddy´s name in every town
And I meet lots of friendly people But I always wind up leaving on the land Hey, where I´ve been, where I´m born didn´t take a lot of knowing
And I got a lot of questions about what I am
The way I am don´t fit my shackles The way I am, reality I can almost feel the tattooist´s needle So I just dream, keep on bein´ the way I am
Hey, I´m not bragging or complaining I´m just talking to myself man to man And I just dream, keep on bein´ the way I am
