Jackson, Alan - The Way I Am 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, keep on being the way I am
And what I do, with a willing hand
Some would run, but that ain't like me
So, I just dream, 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 dancin'
So, I just dream, keep on being 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, keep on being the way I am
Yeah, I just dream, and keep on being the way I am.
Yoo da lay eee.. Yoo da lay eee...

Let's hear more Angels , and Alcohols
Perfect song!!! Perfect patriarch!!!
Beautiful..
Well Alan, I heard that song from Merle Haggard this morning. But I think you're doing better than the Hag himself. R I p Hag.
Alan does a nice job with this song...possum and the Hag together...perfection. Love this classic country music!!!!!
Great Tribute song
I can see it now, that bobber dancing.. Wish I was there too AJ
Love the song and alan
This Country Song Will Make You Get In Your Truck. And Go For A Long Drive. And Shift Through The Gears.
Awesome song
Just heard this song on our local Smoky Mountain Country station. Hadn't heard it in a long time. I know Haggard and Jackson have recorded it together.Would like to hear Merle Haggard's sons cover it too.
Hey, you are stuck on an island and can only have one album.......easily this one.
good job honey.r.I.p.Merle.
Love this . Great album too
I can almost see that bobber dancing!!
kskufan me too
Omg he covers MERLE almost better than Merle..dont get me wrong I adore Marie Haggard he was almost my daddy..lol My mom's story lol
SCHOOLTHEWORLD 😂
Check out Cody Jinks cover
Alan is a gift from God
ONE OF THE VERY FEW THAT ARE EVEN CLOSE TO MERLE!!!
I miss Merle 🙁 he died on his birthday too kinda rare I think
I remember that.
my brother in law died on his birthday i heard, i never liked him
check out Cody Jinks' cover, also a great cover!
I think we all want to hear how Sam Hunt would interpret this ...right ?
nice vocal...don't really like the mando in place of the steel ....Sonny Throckmorton just slammed this sucker outta da park. "I can almost see that bobber dancin' " ....is there a better line in the history of country music?
is it sad that I'm 18 and I love the classic country music and not the garbage the play now a days
the world's #1 country boy song!!!! %100 truth!!!!
fuckin love this song!!!!
He just can't sing pain the way Merle could.
Michael Clemons
bro, its not a "pain" song, its a "recollection" song! back to the good Ol' days, my friend!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!
COUNTRY BOY FOR LIFE!!!!
hey lloyd,,,Sonny Throckmorton wrote it, fits Merle to a T though huh?
Marla you are great and my childhood memories.
Merle Haggard's song. But Allen Jackson really did a great version.
RIP Merle
Clássico!
go ahead baby.I love that song.
Thank you so much for posting this song on youtube. I am a huge fan of this song. Alan Jackson does an amazing job covering this song and i really appreciate good talented music artists. There are so many people out there that say they are country when really they are not. Sad but true.
Sonny Throkmorton was the writer, it was a fabulous song that I first saw Merle perform on Austin City Limits although havent found that version on youtube yet, Not everyone can pull off covers of songs, especially of Merle Haggarts, but Alan Jackson does a fabulous job on this tune, he doesnt over sing it, keeps the beauty of it there and I love the Mandolin in it. Damn good reproduction by a great performer!
leafsfourever hmmmm perfection

The one song I ever liked by Alan
I figure I covered that enough times!
Sonny Throckmorton
merle haggarad song
lol44488 duh bro!!!
I wanted to make sure everyone knew where this most wonderfull song came from, I have taken up Mandollin, and I use this song as a practice, incredible ..
yeap and a fucking great song to.
David Larrew had a buzz, when he posted 5 months ago ;)

merle didn't write this song Sonny Strotern did Merle said so.
I don't judge in terms of better or worse. They're both good and easy to listen to, and that's good enough for me. They both represent real country music, unlike most of the cookie cutter pop bullshit that's played on the radio today.
Alan does a good job, but Hag is better. Love Alan to though. He has many awesome songs too, as well as Merle has his own. Love them both.
This was a great album, I wore it out.
I agree with you.
I still love him
Me too ..on my 3rd one!!!
patrickwhitt77 me too. Still love it
Great sounding song, thanks for the beaut country music!!!
Jenny Evans i like this song has a tune that hits the right feeling
