Jim Croce - I Got A Name (Original Studio Version)

Lyrics:

Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road
I got a name, I got a name
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
I got a name, I 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 a north wind whistlin' down the sky
I got a song, I got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
I got a song, I 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 got a dream, I got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I got a dream, I got a dream
Oh, I know I could share it if you want me to
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

@dragracerlarry Yeah - who're the fucking assholes who decided that it's a good idea to turn up the guitar and bass tracks louder than the vocals (either live OR studio)?!? What a stupid fuckin' idea. But those are the kinda people who're in charge of things today. That's why they make the big bucks.

@osuasheuatl Easier ONLY because of the Interwebz. Otherwise, you DEFINITELY need to look harder for it...

@EZtalkman Nah, you've got your ratio wrong. For every shitty, generic, mainstream artist out there, there are at least 4 passionate, artistic, talented underground artists. You just have to do some digging to find them.

Awesome song ! Great words, Jim Croce is a Legend !

@MysticLeviathan The way most of these bands write their songs nowadays is that they jizz cum onto their guitars as they listen to OTHER shit recordings and say, "Oh LOOK! It's a brand new SONG!!" Generally they tend to be a buncha fucking idiots and losers. :-D

@ConsecratedOblivion Today's music is NOT "ALL THAT", except to say "ALL THAT FUCKING SHIT." There ARE a lot of good bands and a lot talent out there, still, with a lot of good variety.  THAT much is true. However, for every one band/artist out there now that are good and original, there are two that are mediocre & two more (or TUMOR, if you will) that are GAHDDAMN, USELESS, MORONIC, UNTALENTED FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING SHIT. THEY are the useless idiots that need be erased.

As an black girl growing up in the south during the 60's our house really rocked. But not like you would think. My parents were eclectic in their music. Everything from gospel,rock,blues, motown, grand ole opry and opera played in our house. Mom said God gave us music to feel good and different days it took different music to feel good. An older white man asked Mom Miss what kind of music don't you like? She said ,they haven't made it yet. Rap may be the first. But knowing Mom and Dad who knows.

@MysticLeviathan None of those genres are "new" (well, post-rock is fairly new), just that the new artists that BELONG to those genres happen to put out a lot of REALLY good music in the past couple years.
