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'll just dream and keep on being the way I am Wish I enjoyed what makes my living Did what I do with a willing hand Some would run, but that ain't like me
So I'll just dream and keep on being the way I am (Chorus:) The way I am don't fit my shackles The way I am, reality I can almost see that bobber dancing But I'll just dream and keep on being the way I am (Chorus
