The Man That Is Me
Jim Croce
[Intro] [Verse 1] I’m a dreamer by nature And I’ve always been tryin’ To dream myself out of this world that I’m in In my dreams I escape all the troubles around And it hasn’t cost a penny For the pleasures I’ve found [Chorus] What is the part That I’ll play today Beggar a bus’ness man king for a day? I’ve played many parts And I’m the first to agree That I’m still lookin’ round for the man that is me [Verse 2] I’m a dreamer by nature And I’ve always been Looking for something not there My financial position Don’t bother my dreams ’Cause in fairy tale money I’m my own millionaire [Chorus] What is the part That I’ll play today Beggar a bus’ness man king for a day? I’ve played many parts And I’m the first to agree That I’m still lookin’ round for the man that is me [Verse 3] I’m a rich man in dreams But in real life I’ve hid From the fact that I’ve got me a wife and a kid If I lose what I’ve got Then they lose it too Tell me what in this world’s a poor dreamer to do [Chorus] What is the part That I’ll play today Beggar a bus’ness man king for a day? I’ve played many parts And I’m the first to agree That I’m still lookin’ round for the man that is me
