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
