Lyrics Merle Haggard

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

I'm just a nephew

To today's Uncle 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 a nephew

To today's Uncle Sam

I believe Jesus is God

And a pig is just ham

And I'm just a seeker, I'm just a sinner

I am what I am
