Drivin down the road again
That 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 alot of "wanna be's"
Dreamin big, and livin free like me
----repeat intro twice----
Charlie runs a produce shack
Livin in a van out back
Sellin peas and homemade syrup,
Cantloups, and Elvis shirts
Braggin on future plans with
whiskey breath and shaky hands, I
Meet alot of "wanna be's"
Dreamin big, and livin free like me
-----intro once-----
Chorus:
Wearin wrinkled travelin clothes
To another one night show
cause that's where I was born to be
Have guitar, we'll travel light
Here today and gone tonight
Playin this lifetime lottery
Here's to faces I have seen
Carnival of those who dream,
Rodeoers seekin fame,
Table dancers I can't name
Willie T. in Abilene
Karokes all time king and
Every 6-string wanna be
Dreamin big, and livin free like me
----intro once----
repeat chorus
---solo---
To every dreamer I have known, may
Lady Luck take you home, I
Pray for every wanna be
Dreamin big, and livin free like me
----intro once----
I pray for every wanna be
Dreamin big, and livin free....(play intro)....like me
