Jim Croce - The Man That Is Me lyrics

I'm a dreamer by nature And I've always been tryin' To dream myself out of this world that I'm in In my dreams I escape all the troubles around And it hasn't cost a penny For the pleasures I've found What is the part That I'll play today Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day? I've played many parts And I'm the first to agree That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me I'm a dreamer by nature And I've always been Looking for something not there My financial position Don't bother my dreams 'Cause in fairy tale money I'm my own millionaire What is the part That I'll play today Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day? I've played many parts And I'm the first to agree That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me I'm a rich man in dreams But in real life I've hid From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid If I lose what I've got Then they lose it too Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do What is the part That I'll play today Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day? I've played many parts And I'm the first to agree That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
