Merle Haggard - Way I Am lyrics

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, ah, 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', So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am. I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
