Lyrics

I Am

[Verse 1]

I never been on a railroad

As many times as they pass me by

I never crashed in the desert

Or seen a rodeo

I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam

I've yet to read about Uncle Tom

Never climbed a real rock

Or seen Colorado

[Chorus]

Am I the son I think I am?

Am I the friend I think I am?

Am I the man I think I want to be?

Hey

[Verse 2]

I never had a day where money didn't get in my way

I never listened to much Elvis

And I can't remember

A warm December

[Chorus]

Am I the son I think I am?

Am I the friend I think I am?

Am I the man I think I want to be?

[Refrain]

I'm here for my sanity, sanity

I am here for you

And I'm here for your fantasy, sanity

I am here

I am

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Am I the son I think I am?

Am I the father that I think I am?

Am I the man I think I want to be?

[Bridge]

I'm here for my sanity, sanity

I am here for you

Whether or not I'm walkin' in

Or whether or not I'm walkin' out

I am always here for you

Hey, hey

[Refrain]

And I'm here for my sanity, sanity

I am here for you

I'm here for your fantasy, sanity

I am here

I am
