Like Me

[Verse 1]

Driving down the road again

A highway that never ends

Taking naps in my old car

Singing in guitar bars

Killing time with cafe queens

And truckers playing slot machines

I meet a lot of wannabes

Dreaming big and living free like me

[Verse 2]

Charlie runs a produce shack

Living in a van out back

Selling peas and homemade syrup

Cantaloupes and Elvis shirts

Bragging on future plans

With whiskey breath and shaky hands

I meet a lot of wannabes

Dreaming big and living free like me

[Chorus]

Wearing wrinkled traveling 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

Playing this lifetime lottery

[Verse 3]

Here's to faces I have seen

A carnival of those who dream

Rodeos seeking fame

Table dancers I can't name

Willie T. in Abilene

Karaoke's all-time king

And every six-string wannabe

Dreaming big and living free like me

[Chorus]

Wearing wrinkled traveling 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

Playing this lifetime lottery

[Bridge]

To every dreamer I have known

May Lady Luck take you home

I pray for every wannabe

Dreaming big and living free like me

I pray for every wannabe

Dreaming big and living free

[Outro]

Like me

Living free like me

Living free like me

Living free like me
