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
