[Verse I] G Wish I was down on some blue bayou D With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand Em But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there C So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am
[Verse II] G Wish I enjoyed what makes my living D Did what I do with a willin' hand Em Some would run, but that ain't like me C So I just dream and keep on bein' the way I am [Chorus] G The way I am, don't fit my shackles D The way I am, reality Em I can almost see that bobber dancin' C So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am G The way I am, don't fit my shackles D The way I am, reality Em I can almost see that bobber dancin' C But I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am
