The Man That Is Me
Jim Croce
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
What is the part
That I'll play today
Beggar, a business 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
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
What is the part
That I'll play today
Beggar, a business 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
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
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
