Like I Am

	  		 

 

 

Hey 

Riff 
Well, I'm mean as gravel, I'm poor as dirt 
And I like things better the way they were 
Well, I'm strong in the head but I get things done 
I spend too much money to have a little fun, come on 

D                          E     E4  E 
  Here you are, you come around

  You want me to settle down, yeah

   It's a crazy thing, the way I roll

Riff 
Well, I'm stuck in my ways and I grew up hard 
I drink milk out your carton and juice from the jar, huh 
Well, some people say I sleep too much 
I just sleep when I can til I have to get up
