Album: The Road and the Radio [BNA]
Drivin' down the road again
A highway that never ends
Takin' naps in my old car
Singin' in guitar bars
Killin' time with cafe queens
And truckers playin' slot machines
I meet a lot of wannabes
Dreamin' big and livin' free like me.
Charley runs a produce shack
Livin' in a van out back
Sellin' peas and homemade soup syrup
Cantaloupes and Elvis shirts
Braggin' on future plans
With whiskey breath and shaky hands
I meet a lot of wanna bes
Dreamin' big and livin' free like me.
Wearin' wrinkled travelin' clothes
To another one night show
'Cause that's where I was born to be
Have guitar, will travel light
Here today and gone tonight
Playin' this lifetime lottery.
Here's to faces I have seen
A carnival of those who dream
Rodeos seekin' fame
Table dancers I can't name
Willie T. in Abilene
Karoke's all time kning
And every six string wannabe
Dreamin' big and livin' free like me.
Wearing wrinkled travelin' clothes
To another one night show
'Cause that's where I was born to be
Have guitar, will travel light
Here today gone tonight
Playin' this life time lottery.
To every dreamer I have known
May lady luck take you home
I pray for every wannabe
Dreamin' big and livin' free like me
I pray for every wanna be
Dreamin' big and livin' free.
Like me.
Livin' free like me.
Livin' free like me.
Livin' free like me...
