            A5                G5   D5  
Wish I was down on some blue bayou,
                A5                 E5
With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand.
                 A5                 G5    D5
But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there,
             A5             E5              A5
So I just dream , keep on bein' the way I am. 

           A5                  G5   D5
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,
           A5                   E5
Did what I do with a willin' hand.
           A5                         G5   D5
Some would run, ah, but that ain't like me.
           A5                 E5               A5
So I just dream and keep on bein' the way I am.
           
          D5                 A5
The way I am , don't fit my shackles.
          E5       A5
The way I am , reality.
              A5               G5   D5
I can almost see that bobber dancin',
            A5              E5             A5
So I just dream , keep on bein' the way I am.
