| Like the pine trees | windin on down the | road |
| G# | A | B | E | |
| I got a | name, | I got a | name |

| Like the singin | bird and the croakin | toad |
| G# | A | B | E | |
| I got a | name, | I got a | name |

| And I carry it | with me like my | daddy did |

| But I'm livin a | dream | that he can't | give |

| Movein me down the highway, | Rollin me down the highway |
| E | E | |
| Movein ahead so life won't pass me | by |
| Rest of lyrics: |
| Like a north wind whistlin down the sky |
| I got a song, I got a song |
| Like the whipperwill and the baby's cry |
| I got a song, I got a song |
| And I carry it with me and I'll sing it loud |
| If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud |
| Movein...Rollin..Movein ahead... |
| -solo- |
| And I'm gonna go there free... |
| Like a fool I am and will always be |
| I got a dream, I got a dream |
| They can change their mind but the can't change me |
| I got a dream, I got a dream |
| I know I could share it if you want me to |
| If you're goin my way, I'll go with you |
| Movein...Rollin..Movein ahead... |
