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
