I Am So Happy That I Am

People Always Say 'etta, You Know What Your Problem Is? You're Neither Fish Nor Fowl. There Is No Place To Rack You.' When I Would Go In A Record Shop, You Might Find One Or Two Records By Me In Different Stacks.

I Wanna Show That Gospel, Country, Blues, Rhythm And Blues, Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll Are All Just Really One Thing. Those Are The American Music And That Is The American Culture.

When I Look Out At The People And They Look At Me And They're Smiling, Then I Know That I'm Loved. That Is The Time When I Have No Worries, No Problems.

I Really Turned Into, You Know, The Real Street Kid. I Was Kind Of Like A Runaway, But I Had A Mother, You Know What I Mean, And I Had A Place To Stay.

I've Gone Through So Much In My Life. I Should Have Been Dead A Long Time Ago, But I Am Still Here, And I'm The Happiest I've Ever Been.
