lyrics

That’s Just How I Am

Back in Chicago people all know
Soon as I open my mouth
My home is down south
Not up around there
Sometimes someone will stare
‘Scuse me, sir or ma’am,
I say but that’s just how I am

Old mom and old dad said it was bad
I didn’t do like they’d say
Boy, you blast tunes all day
They’d cry god on high, act like a natural guy
‘Scuse me sir and ma’am
I’d say but that’s just how I am

Now it has been said I’m a strange so and so
Might get crazy you don’t ever know
Guess that’s true, sometimes I get in a jam
I do like I do, that’s just how I am

I won’t eat onions or turn on the AC
Some folks wonder what is wrong with me
That’s OK--like this ole boy gives a damn
Man, say what you may, that’s just how I am

Some folks here and there give me the sneer
Now because I tend to talk back
Times when they attack
Man, they dish it out
And I push back, ain’t no doubt
Scuse me everyone,
ain’t no lie, that’s just how I am

I don’t give a damn, take it or leave it
that’s just how I am.
