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
