Like the pine trees lining the winding road, I’ve got a name; I’ve got a name.
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad, I’ve got a name; I’ve got a name,
And I carry it with me like my daddy did, but I’m living the dream that he kept hid.
Movin’ me down the highway, rollin’ me down the highway.
Movin’ ahead so life won’t pass me by.
Like the north wind whistlin’ down the sky, I’ve got a song; I’ve got a song.
Like the whippoorwill and the baby’s cry, I’ve got a song; I’ve got a song,
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud, if it gets me nowhere, I’ll go there proud.
Movin’ me down the highway, rollin’ me down the highway.
Movin’ ahead so life won’t pass me by.
(Instrumental) And I’m gonna go there free.
Like the fool I am and I’ll always be, I’ve got a dream; I’ve got a dream.
They can change their minds but they can’t change me, I’ve got a dream; I’ve got a dream.
Oh, I know I could share it if you’d want me to; if you’re goin’ my way, I’ll go with you.
Movin’ me down the highway, rollin’ me down the highway,
Movin’ ahead so life won’t pass me by.
Movin’ me down the highway, rollin’ me down the highway,
Movin’ ahead so life won’t pass me by.
