Lyrics:

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 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, but that ain't like me.
So, I 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 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 just dream and keep on bein' the way I am.
I just dream and keep on bein' the way I am.

Hang on to my dreams
The way I am,
Aw laee
Aw laee
