Who Am I
Highways Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well it was Friday in the p.m.
And just like every weekend
I was ready to throw down
Yeah I get a little tore up
So I call my bros up to meet me out on the town
Well wild man Willy said I like to really
But Idol was on TV
And Ray had a date
With his wife and Nate quit drinking
But he didn't tell me
Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight?
Is there anybody out there who wants to have a cold beer
Kick it to the morning light
If I have to raise hell all by myself
I will but y'all, that ain't right
It's time to get it on
Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight?
Well I was flying solo down at Silverado's
The joint looking like a morgue
When this country cutie with a rock and roll booty
Came strutting in through the door
Yelled who wants to dance and fired up the band
With with a Franklin and a shot of patron
She looked right at me and said
What's it gonna be
Are you gonna let me to party alone?
Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight?
Is there anybody out there who wants to have a cold beer
Kick it to the morning light
If I have to raise hell all by myself
I will but y'all, that ain't right
It's time to get it on
Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight?
Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight?
Is there anybody out there who wants to have a cold beer
Kick it to the morning light
If I have to raise hell all by myself
I will but y'all, that ain't right
It's time to get it on
Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight?
Come on come on




Get your good time on
Let's have a little fun tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Who Am I" by Highways tell the story of a man who wants to have a fun night out with his friends. He's calling them up to meet him in town, but one by one they all have excuses for why they can't come. The singer is left to wonder if he's the only one who wants to have a good time. Later in the night, he meets a woman who wants to dance and have fun, and the song ends with a call to action to "get your good time on" and have some fun tonight.


The song speaks to a universal desire to let loose and have fun, but also touches on feelings of isolation and loneliness when those closest to you don't share the same desire. It's a relatable feeling to anyone who has ever felt like they were the only one who wanted to go out and have a good time.
