[Verse 1]
I never been on a railroad
As many times as they pass me by
I never crashed in the desert
Or seen a rodeo
I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam
I've yet to read about Uncle Tom
Never climbed a real rock
Or seen Colorado

[Chorus]
Am I the son I think I am?
Am I the friend I think I am?
Am I the man I think I want to be?
Hey

[Verse 2]
I never had a day where money didn't get in my way
I never listened to much Elvis
And I can't remember
A warm December

[Chorus]
Am I the son I think I am?
Am I the friend I think I am?
Am I the man I think I want to be?
[Refrain]
I'm here for my sanity, sanity
I am here for you
And I'm here for your fantasy, sanity
I am here
I am

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Am I the son I think I am?
Am I the father that I think I am?
Am I the man I think I want to be?

[Bridge]
I'm here for my sanity, sanity
I am here for you
Whether or not I'm walkin' in
Or whether or not I'm walkin' out
I am always here for you
Hey, hey

[Refrain]
And I'm here for my sanity, sanity
I am here for you
I'm here for your fantasy, sanity
I am here
I am
