Generate meaning
1
Wish I was down on some blue bayou
2
With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand.
3
But the road I'm on don't seem to go there,
4
So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
5
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,
6
Did what I do with a willin' hand.
7
Some would run, but that ain't like me.
8
I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
9
The way I am don't fit my shackles.
10
The way I am, reality.
11
I can almost see that bobber dancin'.
12
So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
13
And I guess I grew up a loner,
14
Don't remember ever having any folks around.
15
So I keep thumbing through the phone books
16
And looking for my daddy's name in every town.
17
And I meet lots of friendly people
18
But I always wind up leaving on the land.
19
Hey, where I've been, where I'm born didn't take a lot of knowing,
20
And I got a lot of questions about what I am.
21
The way I am don't fit my shackles.
22
The way I am, reality.
23
I can almost feel the tattooist's needle
24
So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
25
Hey, I'm not bragging or complaining,
26
I'm just talking to myself man to man.
27
And I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
28
Yodel-eh-te-ho, ho-te.
