Like Me

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 Charlie runs the Produce Shack
Livin’in a van out back
Sellin’peas and homemade syrup
Cantaloupes and Elvis shirts
Braggin’on future plans
With whiskey breath and shaky hands
I meet a lot of wannabes
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
Karaoke’s all-time king
And every six string wannabe
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
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 wannabe
Dreamin’big and livin’free … like me Livin’free like me Livin’free like me Livin’free like me
