That's Just the Way That I Am (A Lyric)?

Question

THAT'S JUST THE WAY THAT I AM

By WILLY SENKIWSKY 5/7/04 6:00 PM, A-Harp, Key of E, Slow Boogie

I'd rather laugh then cry
I hope to be this way till I die!
If you like it or not I don't give a damn
That's just the way that I am!

I don't like summer, I sweat
Winter wouldn't be bad but it's wet!
Now I get grief cause what I do ain't new
That's okay I'll still sing the Blues!

I know I was meant for Babylon
I'm the first born son of a son of a gun!
I'd be a Dr. today but I failed the exam
Screw it; that's just the way I am!

Some kids will make a discovery in a few
They'll discover the lost art of the Blues!
That's just another phase to go through
Muddy's old licks will again be brand new!

Woman I ain't a baby for you to change
I'm tellin it like it is don't look at me strange!
Which is something you didn't get from them
I ain't sorry that's just the way that I am!!!...
