Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid
[Chorus]
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
[Verse 2]
Like a north wind whistling 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
[PreChorus]
And I carry it with me, and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there, proud
[Chorus]
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
[Verse 3]
And I'm gonna go there, free
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
Oh, I know I could share it if you want me to
If you're going my way, I'll go with you
[Chorus]
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
[Outro]
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
