[G#]I got a [A]name, [B]I got a [E]name


[E]Like the singin [B]bird and the croakin [G#]toad


[G#]I got a [A]name, [B]I got a [E]name

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...
