Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Wish I were down, on some blue bayouWith a bamboo cane, stuck in the sandBut the road I’m on, don’t seem to go thereSo I just dream, and keep on bein’ the way I am
Wish I enjoyed, what makes my livin’What I do, with a willin’ handSome would run, but that ain’t like meSo I just dream, and keep on bein’ the way I am
The way I am, don’t fit my shacklesThe way I am, realityI can almost see, that bobber dancin’But I just dream, and keep on bein’ the way I am
The way I am, don’t fit my shacklesThe way I am, realityI can almost see, that bobber dancin’But I just dream, and keep on bein’ the way I am
Yeah, I just dream and keep on bein’ the way I am
