Sam I Am
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tried to be your paper boy
Tried to be your boy scout
Tried to be your ice cream man
I could not be your soldier
Or even drive your bus
My skills weren't always that obvious
Yeah, but I hope you understand
I'll do the best I can
I ain't no perfect man but Sam I am
I'm a back-talkin' fighter
A silver bullet biter
I'm a flip flop slider
And a guitar moonlighter
I'm your prove it all nighter
Your holy ghost writer
Pale of shade whiter
I'm your rock n roll driver oh yeah oh yeah
That's all I am
I Tried to be your oil man
Tried to be your big boss
Tried to be your broker but you took a loss
It's just a hopeless case
And I ain't no lawyer
I only got a few tricks I can show ya
And I hope you understand it
I'll do the best I can
I ain't no Superman but Sam I am..and I'm
A feel good doctor
A big bad talker
After midnight walker
Sittin on the bay docker
I'm a sunshine stalker
Hodaddy wave watcher
Heaven's door knocker
Blue, white, and red rocker oh yeah oh yeah
That's all I am
I tried to be everything to you
Yeah, but it would not would not do
I got nothin on my resume
But I can rock you and roll you each and every day
Have mercy on me
I am not sorry
Believe me, it's easy
I'll do my best to be a
Straight shot shooter
A bad motor scooter
Sunny honeymooner
Your heavy metal crooner
Make you wanna holler
Shirt with no collar
Wish I was a couple inches taller
White, blue, and red rocker oh yeah oh yeah
Uh I say yeah, yeah, yeah
That's all I am...
That's all I am...
Baby, baby, baby...Sam I Am
