THE WAY I AM

        Words and Music by John Denver

I love the ocean on a peaceful morning
I love the freedom of a single man
I love the woman who just drives me crazy
I just can't help it that's the way I am

I don't like war
I don't like politicians
Don't like the one who has an angry hand
I don't like guns
I don't like nuclear missiles
Don't like the one who doesn't give a damn

Chorus:  It's all right, it's all right
         We can make love, we can fight
         It's all right, it's all right
         We can make love, we can fight
         We can make love

I love the Lord
I love the little people
I love the one who is a gentle man
I love the rivers in the Rocky Mountains
I just can't help it that's the way I am

I've been to Boston and I've been to China
I've been around the world and back again
I've got a hunger that just keeps me running
I just can't help it that's the way I am

(Repeat Chorus)
