"I Got A Name" lyrics

I Got A Name

Like the pine trees lining the winding road
I got a name
I got a name
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad
I got a name
I got a name

And I carry it with me
Like my pappy did
But I'm living the dream
That he kept hid

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead
So life won't pass me by

Like the north wind whistling down the sky
I got a song
I got a song
Like a whippoorwill and a baby's cry
I got a song
I got a song

And I carry it with me
And I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere
Well, I'll go there proud

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead
So life won't pass me by

And I'm gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I got a dream
I got a dream
They can change their minds
But they can't change me
I got a dream
I got a dream

I know I could share it
If you want me to
So if you're going my way
Well, I'll go with you

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead
So life won't pass me by
