I Got a Name

Posted on December 16, 2009October 26, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on I Got a Name

I’ve always been a big Jim Croce fan and one of my favorite songs he did was “I Got a Name” which isn’t as well known or played as often as his other classics “Time in a Bottle” or even “Operator”. I really like the feel of the song and the message.

Favorite parts

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

Here’s a live performance of the song

 

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 whippoorwill 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 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
