Take Me Like I Am
Embrace Life's Real Wealth with "Take Me Like I Am" by Johnny Horton
Lyrics
I'm livin' on the other side of the track, it's true
I live on the less affluent side of society.
But like it or not, I'm just as good as you
I assert my equal worth regardless of social status.
If I see you comin' with your head held so high
If I see you acting arrogantly or superior.
Don't you worry 'bout me speaking, I'll pass you right on by
Don't worry about me confronting you; I'll ignore you.
This world is full of money, but I haven't got a dime
This world has wealth, but I lack financial resources.
Had a million heartaches, but I'm happy all the time
Despite numerous hardships, I maintain a positive outlook.
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb
I can be assertive or gentle, adapting to circumstances.
If you want to get along with me, you'll take me like I am
If you want a harmonious relationship, accept me as I am.
You can talk about your fancy friends and your millionaires
Your affluent acquaintances and their concerns are not mine.
I may not have their money, but I don't have their cares
I lack their wealth, but I'm free from their worries.
You can live in a mansion set up on a golden throne
You may live lavishly, but material possessions are fleeting.
But all these things you have in life are gonna vanish when I'm gone
Everything you have will disappear after I'm gone.
This world is full of money, but I haven't got a dime
I lack financial means despite the abundance in the world.
Had a million heartaches, but I'm happy all the time
Despite numerous challenges, I maintain a contented demeanor.
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb
My nature is versatile, ranging from assertive to gentle.
If you want to get along with me, you'll take me like I am
If you seek harmony with me, accept me without conditions.
This world is full of money, but I haven't got a dime
Financially, I have little in a world filled with wealth.
Had a million heartaches, but I'm happy all the time
Despite numerous heartaches, I maintain a joyful spirit.
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb
My demeanor is adaptable, from fierce to gentle.
If you want to get along with me, you'll take me like I am
To have a positive relationship with me, accept me as I am.
