Lyrics

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 burning fire in me
They simply let me be myself
I'm not saying I don't care for rock and roll
But, it don't feel the same way in my soul
I'd rather be a Highwayman
Than a Rolling Stone
I'd rather be singing to a bar stool
Some cowboy's sitting on
So, nothing makes me give a damn
More than country music can
I'd rather be a Highwayman
Than a Rolling Stone
The 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 singing as the vinyl curtains close
I'd rather be a Highwayman
Than a Rolling Stone
I'd rather be singing to a bar stool
Some cowboy's sitting 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
Nothing makes me give a damn
More than country music can
I'd rather be a Highwayman
Than a Rolling Stone
