I Got a Name (From the Film 'Last American Hero') Songtext
von Jim Croce

Like the pine trees linin′ the windin' road
I′ve got a name, I've got a name
Like the singin' bird and the croakin′ toad
I′ve got a name, I've got a name

And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I′m livin' the dream that he kept hid

Movin′ me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin′ ahead so life won't pass me by

Like the north wind whistlin' down the sky
I′ve got a song, I′ve got a song
Like the whirlpool whirl and the baby's cry
I′ve got a song, I've got a song

And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I′ll go there proud


Movin' me down the highway
Rollin′ me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

And I′m gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and I′ll always be
I've got a dream, I′ve got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I′ve got a dream, I've got a dream

Oh, I know I could share it if you′d want me too
If you're going my way, I'll go with you
Movin′ me down the highway
Rollin′ me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won′t pass me by
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin′ me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won′t pass me by
