Adam Harvey - I'd Rather Be a Highwayman
00
Copied!
{Verse 1}
Smoky rooms and dim-lit nights
Tucked among the neon lights
I play their soundtrack while they drink
But I'm not as lonely as you think
These country songs I live and breathe
Fuel a burnin' fire in me
They simply let me be myself
I'm not sayin' I don't care for rock and roll
But it don't feel the same way in my soul
{Chorus}
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
I'd rather be singing to a barstool some cowboy's sittin' on
So nothin' makes me give a damn more than country music can
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
{Verse 2}
Empty faces come in here
For the friendly atmosphere
Music seems to wash their cares away
There's freedom in these country songs I play
Now I may never make it rich
By the time I call it quits
Not every rainbow ends in gold
But I'll still be singin' as the vinyl curtains close
{Chorus}
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
I'd rather be singing to a barstool some cowboy's sittin' on
So let me get up with the band and just be who I am
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
{Outro}
Nothin' makes me give a damn more than country music can
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
{Verse 1}
Smoky rooms and dim-lit nights
Tucked among the neon lights
I play their soundtrack while they drink
But I'm not as lonely as you think
These country songs I live and breathe
Fuel a burnin' fire in me
They simply let me be myself
I'm not sayin' I don't care for rock and roll
But it don't feel the same way in my soul
{Chorus}
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
I'd rather be singing to a barstool some cowboy's sittin' on
So nothin' makes me give a damn more than country music can
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
{Verse 2}
Empty faces come in here
For the friendly atmosphere
Music seems to wash their cares away
There's freedom in these country songs I play
Now I may never make it rich
By the time I call it quits
Not every rainbow ends in gold
But I'll still be singin' as the vinyl curtains close
{Chorus}
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
I'd rather be singing to a barstool some cowboy's sittin' on
So let me get up with the band and just be who I am
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
{Outro}
Nothin' makes me give a damn more than country music can
I'd rather be a highwayman than a rolling stone
