[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Like the pin
e trees lining
the winding r
oad,
I've got a nam

name
Like the sin
ging bird and
the croaking t
oad,
I've got a nam
e, I've got a
name
[Pre-Chorus]
And I carry
it with me li
ke my Daddy di
d
But I'm living
the dream tha
t he kept hid
[Chorus]
Moving me down
the highway,
rolling me dow
n the highway
Moving ahead s
o life won't p
ass me by

[Verse 2]
Like a north
wind whistlin
g down the sky
,
I've got a son
g, I've got a
song
Like the whi

the baby's cry
,
I've got a son
g, I've got a
song
[Pre-Chorus]
And I carry
it with me an

If it gets me
nowhere, I'll
go there proud
[Chorus]
Moving me down
the highway,
rolling me dow
n the highway
Moving ahead s
o life won't p
