Be as You are
“there’s a blue rockin’ chair
sittin’ in the sand
weathered by the storms
and well-oiled hands
it sways back and forth
with the help of the winds
it seems to always be there
like an old, trusted friend
i’ve read a lot of books
wrote a few songs
looked at my life
where it’s goin,’ where it’s gone
i’ve seen the world
through a bus windshield
but nothing compares
to the way that i see it
to the way that i see it
to the way that i see it
when i sit
in that old blue chair
from that chair
i’ve caught
a few fish and some rays
and i’ve watched boats sail
in and out of Cinnamon Bay
i let go of a lover
that took a piece of my heart
i prayed many times for forgiveness
and a brand new start
i’ve read a lot of books
wrote a few songs
looked at my life
where it’s goin,’ where it’s gone
i’ve seen the world
through a bus windshield
but nothing compares
to the way that i see it
to the way that i see it
to the way that i see it
when i sit
in that old blue chair
that chair was my bed one New Year’s Night
when i passed out from too much Cruzan and diet
and woke up to a 100 mosquito bites
i swear
got ’em all sittin’ right there
in that old blue chair
there’s a blue rockin’ chair
sittin’ in the sand
weathered by the storms
and well-oiled hands”
(song written and sung by Kenny Chesney)
