I'm trying to get smarter and live the right way Ain't there yet but I'll be someday Don't mean to say I ain't got to change But some things about me are gonna stay the same I like Popeye the sailor man He's a smart guy, "I am what I am" Just doing my best to get something right I dig cartoons in the morning And my baby at night My baby at night I've hit some hard walls with my soft head Had some accidents that shoulda left me dead I been in love and had my heart broke I've lived my life like it's some kind of joke But I like Popeye the sailor man
He's a smart guy, "I am what I am" Just doing my best to get something right I dig cartoons in the morning And my baby at night My baby at night Wisdom can come in some very strange ways That's a little lesson I'm learning these days The road is long and my time is short Just trying to keep my mule ahead of my cart But I like Popeye the sailor man He's a smart guy, "I am what I am" Just doing my best to get something right I dig cartoons in the morning And my baby at night My baby at night My baby at night My baby at night
