Take Me Like I Am

Take Me Like I Am - Billy Barton/Johnny Horton

I'm living on the other side of the track it's true

But like it or not I'm just as good as you

If I see you coming with your head held so high

Don't you worry 'bout me speaking

I'll pass you right on by

This world is full of money

But I haven't got a dime

Had a million heartaches

But I'm happy all the time

I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb

If you wanna get along with me

You'll take me like I am

You can talk about your fancy friends

And your millionaires

I may not have their money

But I don't have their cares

You can live in a mansion

Set up on a golden throne

But all these things you have in life

Are gonna vanish when I'm gone

This world is full of money

But I haven't got a dime

Had a million heartaches

But I'm happy all the time

I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb

If you wanna get along with me

You'll take me like I am

This world is full of money

But I haven't got a dime

Had a million heartaches

But I'm happy all the time

I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb

If you wanna get along with me

You'll take me like I am
