| Drivin’down the road again
|
| A highway that never ends
|
| Takin’naps in my old car
|
| Singin’in guitar bars
|
| Killin’time with cafe queens
|
| And truckers playin’slot machines
|
| I meet a lot of wannabes
|
| Dreamin’big and livin’free like me Charlie runs the Produce Shack
|
| Livin’in a van out back
|
| Sellin’peas and homemade syrup
|
| Cantaloupes and Elvis shirts
|
| Braggin’on future plans
|
| With whiskey breath and shaky hands
|
| I meet a lot of wannabes
|
| Dreamin’big and livin’free like me Wearin’wrinkled travelin’clothes
|
| To another one-night show
|
| 'Cause that’s where I was born to be Have guitar, will travel light
|
| Here today and gone tonight
|
| Playin’this lifetime lottery
|
| Here’s to faces I have seen
|
| A carnival of those who dream
|
| Rodeos seekin’fame
|
| Table dancers I can’t name
|
| Willie T. in Abilene
|
| Karaoke’s all-time king
|
| And every six string wannabe
|
| Dreamin’big and livin’free like me Wearin’wrinkled travelin’clothes
|
| To another one-night show
|
| 'Cause that’s where I was born to be Have guitar, will travel light
|
| Here today and gone tonight
|
| Playin’this lifetime lottery
|
| To every dreamer I have known
|
| May Lady Luck take you home
|
| I pray for every wannabe
|
| Dreamin’big and livin’free like me I pray for every wannabe
|
| Dreamin’big and livin’free … like me Livin’free like me Livin’free like me Livin’free like me |
