Merle Haggard
I Am What I Am
I'm no longer a fugitive
And I'm not on the land
And I'm just around
I am what I am
I do what I do
'Cause I do give a damn
And I'm not a tramp and I'm not a drifter
I am what I am
I won't be a slave
And I won't be a prisoner
And I'm just an uncle
To today's Nephew Sam
I believe Jesus is God
And the pig is just ham
And I'm just a seeker, I'm just a sinner
And I'll be what I am
I won't be a slave
And I won't be a prisoner
And I'm just an uncle
To today's Nephew Sam
I believe J-Jesus is God
And a pig is just old ham
And I'm just a seeker, I'm just a sinner
I am what I am
