[Intro]
D

[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]
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

[Solo]
| D   A/C#| Bm      | G   A   | D       |

[Verse 3]
D
  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
D                        A/C#                       Bm  Bm/A
  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
                 Bm   Bm/A            A   A*   Asus4 A
If you're going my way, I'll go with you

[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
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
