Highway Chile

Hendrix

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
But 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
One more brother

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 yeah
Highway chile
