I Got A Name lyrics Jim Croce

I Got A Name Lyrics

Jim Croce

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

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life
won't pass me by

Like the North wind
whistling down the sky
I got a song
I got a song
Like the whipoorwill
and the babies crying
I got a song
I got a song

And I carry it with me
and I sing it proud
If it gets me nowhere
I'll go there proud

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving 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 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

I know I could share it
if you want me to
If your going my way
I'll go with you

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life
won't pass me by
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life
won't pass me by
