Take Me Like I Am

Take Me Like I Am - Johnny Horton

I'm a livin' 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 comin' with your head held so high

Don't you worry about 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 heart-aches

But I'm happy all the time

I can be like a tiger

Or as meek as a lamb

If you want to 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 you're gone

This world is full of money

But I haven't got a dime

Had a million heart-aches

But I'm happy all the time

I can be like a tiger

Or as meek as a lamb

If you want to get along with me

You'll take me like I am
