The Highwaymen - It Is What It Is lyrics
[The Highwaymen - It Is What It Is lyrics]
I've been obnoxious, I've been unconscious
I've been all kind of things
That are hard to spell
I've been unruly, speaking truly
I've been so cool I couldn't
Hardly even stand myself
I've been a monster, without a sponsor
I've been Dr jekyll and Mr hyde
I've been a goner, I've been a loner
And when my mixture was right
I’m a nice bunch of guys
I am what I am cause I
Ain't what I used to be
Cause it is what it is but it
Ain't what it used to be
I've been a mover, I was a shaker
He had a girlfriend, I tried to snake her
I been mysterious, I been delirious
I been so weird it would killed a normal man
I wanted money, I wanted power
I want a monument kinda like the Eiffel Tower
I been lost at sea, I been lost in space
And when I fall in love I
Fall all over the place
I am what I am cause I
Ain't what I used to be
Cause it is what it is but it
Ain't what it used to be
Well, tell 'em about it
And you can go on forever
And make the same mistakes
Or you can stand up on your
Hind legs and change your fate
Go on and do it till you finally see
What it is that it was that
You don't want to be
I was an outlaw, I was an in law
I was a scapegoat, that was the last straw
I hit the highway, singing my way
But it wound up sounding like
'you’ll never walk alone'
I got a story, reflected glory
Is the way that I been seeing
For most of my life
I heard the laughter, up in the rafters
But, I never ever thought that
The joke was on me
I am what I am cause I
Ain't what I used to be
Cause it is what it is but it
Ain't what it used to be
I am what I am cause I
Ain't what I used to be
Cause it is what it is but it
Ain't what it used to be
I've been all kind of things
That are hard to spell
I've been unruly, speaking truly
I've been so cool I couldn't
Hardly even stand myself
I've been a monster, without a sponsor
I've been Dr jekyll and Mr hyde
I've been a goner, I've been a loner
And when my mixture was right
I’m a nice bunch of guys
I am what I am cause I
Ain't what I used to be
Cause it is what it is but it
Ain't what it used to be
I've been a mover, I was a shaker
He had a girlfriend, I tried to snake her
I been mysterious, I been delirious
I been so weird it would killed a normal man
I wanted money, I wanted power
I want a monument kinda like the Eiffel Tower
I been lost at sea, I been lost in space
And when I fall in love I
Fall all over the place
I am what I am cause I
Ain't what I used to be
Cause it is what it is but it
Ain't what it used to be

Ain't what it used to be
