Sam I Am - Sammy Hagar + Lyrics(Livin It Up 2006)


Heres the lyrics: (Recorded from radio, But great tune)

"Sam I Am"
Words and music by Sammy Hagar
Backing vocals from Mona primarily, but probably all the Waboritas are on there. I wonder if Sam is playing slide or Vic??

Well...
I tried to be your paperboy,
Tried to be your boy scout,
Tried to be your ice cream man
I could not be your soldier
Or even drive your bus
My skills aren't always inobvious

Well, I hope you understand,
I'm doin' the best I can.
I ain't no perfect man, but...
Sam I Am!

{Chorus}
I'm a bad-talkin' fighter!
Silver bullet rider!
I'm a flip-flop strider!
A guitar moonlighter!
I'm a through it all nighter!
Your Holy Ghost Rider!
A little shade whiter!
I'm the rock and roll driver, yeah!
Oh, yeah...that's all I am!

Tried to be your oil man,
Tried to be your big boss,
Tried to be your broker,
But ya took a loss...huh!

It's just a hopeless case,
And I ain't no lawyer.
I only got a few tricks I can show ya.
And, I hope you understand,
I do the best I can.
I ain't no Superman, but...
Sam I Am!

{Chorus}
And, I'm a feel-good doctor!
Big bad talker!
After midnight walker!
Sittin' on the bay docker!
I'm a sunshine stalker!
A heavy-weight watcher!
Heavens, door knocker!
Blue, White and Red Rocker!
Oh, Yeah! Oh, Yeah! That's all I am.

I tried to be everything to you,
Yeah, but it would not do.
You're nothing on my resume,
But I can rock you, and roll you,
Each and every day.

Have mercy on me,
I am not sorry.

Believe me, it's easy.
I do my best to be a straight-shot shooter!
A Bad Motor Scooter!
Sunny honeymooner!
Your heavy metal crooner!
Make you wanna holler!
Shirt with no collar!
Just a couple inches taller!
White, Blue and Red Rocker!
Oh, Yeah! Oh, Yeah!
I said, Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
That's all I am, that's all I am,
Baby, Baby, Baby...
Sam I Am.

Thanks for the thought but we do not allow any copyrighted music (even a recording from the radio) on this site. I removed the attachment, thanks for understanding.
