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'll just dream and 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'll 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'll 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'll just dream and keep on bein' the way I am
So I'll just dream and keep on bein' the way I am
