Lyrics Way I Am - Martin Sexton

Way I Am

The other night I had a crazy dream
Bout a man in a fishing hat Selling magazines
All the way from Kingston He had worked his way down
And I bought him this drink
On the night they kicked him out of town
He said
You know I don’t like the way I am You know I don’t like the way I am Saw an old fisherman out swaying on the dock
Swinging a jug of something in the string of fish he had caught
His wife had left him just a week before
She packed up her bags and she waltzed on out the door
And she said
You know I don’t like the way I am You know I don’t like the way I am And then she cried Right out loud
She sang
You and me walked down the shores of our youth
Chasing the sunrise and challenging the truth
Its all so distant now I’ve seen too many lies
Turning my vision into crumbling demise
Makes me want to say
I don’t like the way I am You see I don’t like the way I am
I’m gonna change the way I am
I’m gonna change the way I am Right now Hear me crying out loud
The other night I had this crazy dream
Bout a man in a fishing hat He was selling old magazines
All the way from Kingston He had worked his way down
And I bought him a drink on the night they kicked him out of town
You know I don't like the way I am You know I don't like the way I am But I'm gonna change the way I am Yes I am I'm gonna change the way I am And he played the sweetest song
for me On his squeezebox by the sea
