Highway Chile

Yeah, his guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his Cadillac

Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind

Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

He left home when he was seventeen

The rest of the world he had longed to see

And everybody knows the boss

A rolling stone who gathers no moss

But you'd probably call him a tramp

But it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile, yeah

Now some people say he had a girl back home

Who messed around and did him pretty wrong

They tell me it kinda hurt him bad

Kinda made him feel pretty sad

I couldn't say what went through his mind

Anyway, he left the world behind

But everybody knows the same old story

In love and war you can't lose in glory

Now you'd probably call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on, brother, yeah

His old guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his Cadillac

Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind

Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

Now you may call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on, brother

Don't let no one stop you

Highway chile

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Highway chile

Go on down the highway

Highway chile

Yeah, yeah

Highway chile
