Adam Harvey - I'd Rather Be a Highwayman

★ 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
