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
