Lyrics I Got a Name - Jim Croce

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 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 got a song, I got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the 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, I’ll go there proud
Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway
Movin' 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
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
