I Am...I Said lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

(originally by Neil Diamond)

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time

The feeling is laid back

Palm trees grow and rent's so low

And don't you know, I keep thinking about it

Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised

And nowadays, I'm lost between two shores

L.A.'s fine but it ain't home

New York's home but it ain't mine no more

"I am"... I said

To no one there

And no one heard at all

Not even a chair

"I am"... I cried

"I am"... said I

And I am lost and I can't even say why

Leaving me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog

Who dreamed of being a king?

And then became one

Well, except for the names and a few other changes

If you talk about me

The story is the same one

But I've got an emptiness deep inside and I've tried

But it won't let me go

And I'm not a man who likes to swear

But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

"I am"... I said

To no one there

And no one heard at all

Not even a chair

"I am"... I cried

"I am"... said I

And I am lost and I can't even say why

Leaving me lonely, still

Leaving me lonely, still

(Lonely)

(Lonely)

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
