[Verse 1]
D A/C# Bm Bm/A
Like the pine trees lining the winding road,
G A D
I've got a name, I've got a name
D A/C# Bm Bm/A
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad,
E7 A A* Asus4 A
I've got a name, I've got a name
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G D F#
And I carry it with me like my Daddy did
Bm Bm/A A Asus2 A* Asus4 A
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid
[Chorus]
F#m G F#m B7
Moving me down the highway, rolling me down the highway
G A C C/B C/A C/G C*
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
C C/B C/A C/G C*
[Verse 2]
D A/C# Bm Bm/A
Like a north wind whistling down the sky,
G A D
I've got a song, I've got a song
D A/C# Bm Bm/A
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry,
E7 A A* Asus4 A
I've got a song, I've got a song
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G D F#
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
Bm Bm/A A A* Asus4 A
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud
[Chorus]

Moving me down the highway, rolling me down the highway

And I'm gonna go there free
D A/C# Bm Bm/A
Like the fool I am and I'll always be,
G A D
I've got a dream, I've got a dream

They can change their minds but they can't change me
E7 A A* Asus4 A
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G D F#
I know I could share it, if you want me to

If you're going my way, I'll go with you
