Denver, John - The Way I Am Lyrics






I love the ocean on a peaceful mornin'
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

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

But 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

    horror/thriller author sez: "I'm sorry I nearly strangled you, 'Fill Up My Senses' Annie. I'm sorry I cut our bed in half with a chainsaw." JD was truly a psychopath, a wolf in sheep's clothing, a creepy li'l guy who was toxic to women. Hardly a Muppet's Best Friend!

    I am sorry for allah being madarchod

    Twenty three years ago today I Lost the of my life and fiance Laura to a drunk driver. Just two hours before we had gotten into our first big argument. Then bam she was ran over by the drunk while walking on a jogging track trying to calm down. I had the back seat of my car loaded with flowers, candy, and a teddy bear to say I'm sorry I NEVER got that chance. Folks don't go to bed angry with the one you love you may not get the chance to say I'm Sorry. Laura Dawn I'm sorry we faught. I miss you still today and I love you so much.

    C.... B....

    Hope you are coping...………...

    C.... B....

    Make the world go away

    C.... B....

    I hope your doing OK sorry for your loss.

  46. P.... S....

    But more than anything else I'm sorry for my self ( I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WENT AWAY ) how painful those words sound when you come to the final realisation and utter disbelief that the person you have loved so deeply all your life has just left you. Soul destroying.

    P.... S....

    That line is so powerful , I agree. The pain comes through the lyrics loud and clear.

    P.... S....

    I agree. 😢

    P.... S....

    35 years ago and another marriage and I still think about HER...

  47. C.... A....

  48. k.... ....

    Heel Mooi Irma Hendriks

  49. L.... H....

    Eloquent apologetic melody of timeless grace. A mixture of gratitude 🙏🏻❤️ for John Denver’s 🎁 presence on 🌍 & mourning for his lack of physicality 🌎 in this minor moment in time. A spectacular person can make a moment a momentous experience. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️ God Almighty

  59. A.... D....

    One of the greatest song writers of all time. Could be better than John Lennon imo.
    This version is 1000% better than the recorded version

    A.... D....

    Alec Dukas that's blasphemy to say John Denver is a better writer than John Lennon.
    Still true though!👍

    A.... D....

    I agree better than recorded version much more heartfelt

    A.... D....

    He had a better voice then lennon
    Lennon was too squiky

    A.... D....

    Alec Dukas He’s better than Lennon, believe me.

    A.... D....

    JOHN DENVER WAS WAY BETTER THAN JOHN LENNON, LENNON WAS WAY OVER-RATED!

  60. V.... N....
