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
