Walkin' through the city early mornin' Sunday, feelin' fine

I got a dollar in my pocket and a belly full of rough red wine

People stare then look away but I stare back at them and say



That it's - just the way I am

I was born a travellin' ma-an

Luck ain't in my ha-ands

But I'm happy the way I a-a-am



Well I'll hang around 'til 10 o'clock then head down to the public bar

10 cents and a beer-eer and I'll play anything on my guitar

And if it turns out a sunny day, well then, I might play it anyway



'Cause it's - just the way I am

I was born a travellin' ma-an

Luck ain't in my ha-ands

But I'm happy - the way I a-a-am

I'll play it now



And if it turns out a sunny day, well I might play it anyway



'Cause it's just the way I am

I was born a travellin' ma-an

Luck ain't in my ha-ands

But I'm happy - the way I a-a-am



Well, one day if I feel it, then I might just stop and settle down

Somewhere nice and peaceful like a shady little border town

Until then I'll walk the night, don't fret for me sir, I'm alright



It's just the way I am

I was born a travellin' ma-an

Luck ain't in my ha-ands

But I'm happy - the way I a-a-am



I'll walk it now - Keep on walkin' - Got to keep movin' - Yeah

Keep on movin' - Got to keep walkin' - Walk on down the line

Just the way I am
