Lyrics

Like the pine trees (B)lin ing the wind ing road, I’ve got a name; I’ve got a name. Like the sing ing bird and the croak ing (C#m)toad, I’ve got a name: I’ve got a name, and I car ry it with me like my (E)dad dy did, but I’m liv ing the dream no where, that he kept (B)hid. (G#m)Mov in’ me down the high way, (G#m)roll in’ me down the high way, (A)mov in’ a head so life won’t pass me by. Like the north wind (B)whis tl in’ down the sky, I’ve got a song; I’ve got a song. Like the whip poor will and the ba by’s (C#m)cry, I’ve got a song; I’ve got a song, and I car ry it with me and I (E)sing it loud; if it gets ing me my no way, I’ll go there (B)proud. (G#m)Mov in’ me down the high way, (G#m)roll in’ me down the high way, (A)mov in’ a head so life won’t pass me by. And I’m gon na go there free. (G#m)Mov in’ me down the high way, (G#m)roll in’ me down the high way, (A)mov in’ a head so life won’t pass me by.
