The Man That Is Me — текст песни (Jim Croce)

I`m a dreamer by nature
And I`ve always been tryin`
To dream myself out of this world that I`m in
In my dreams I escape all the troubles around
And it hasn`t cost a penny
For the pleasures I`ve found

Chorus:
What is the part
That I`ll play today
Beggar, a bus`ness man, king for a day?
I`ve played many parts
And I`m the first to agree
That I`m still lookin` round for the man that is me

I`m a dreamer by nature
And I`ve always been
Looking for something not there
My financial position
Don`t bother my dreams
`Cause in fairy tale money
I`m my own millionaire

Chorus

I`m a rich man in dreams
But in real life I`ve hid
From the fact that I`ve got me a wife and a kid
If I lose what I`ve got
Then they lose it too
Tell me what in this world`s a poor dreamer to do

Chorus
