The Way I Am

This song was first released on the It¡¯s About Time Album. It is the only album this song appears on. It only appears on the CD version of this album.

I love the ocean on a peaceful morning
I love the freedom of a single man
I love the woman who just drives me crazy
I just can¡¯t help it that¡¯s the way I am

I don¡¯t like war
I don¡¯t like politicians
Don¡¯t like the one who has an angry hand
I don¡¯t like guns
I don¡¯t like nuclear missiles
Don¡¯t like the one who doesn¡¯t give a damn

It¡¯s all right, it¡¯s all right
We can make love, we can fight
It¡¯s all right, it¡¯s all right
We can make love, we can fight
We can make love

I love the Lord
I love the little people
I love the one who is a gentle man
I love the rivers in the Rocky Mountains
I just can¡¯t help it that¡¯s the way I am

I¡¯ve been to Boston and I¡¯ve been to China
I¡¯ve been around the world and back again
I¡¯ve got a hunger that just keeps me running
I just can¡¯t help it that¡¯s the way I am

It¡¯s all right, it¡¯s all right
We can make love, we can fight
It¡¯s all right, it¡¯s all right
We can make love, we can fight
We can make love
