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 was gonna see And everybody knows the boss a rollin' stone gathers no moss Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp But it goes a little deeper than that He's a highway chile Highway Chile Some people say he had a girl back home who messed around and did her baby wrong They tell 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 Everybody knows the same old story in love or war you can lose your glory Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp But I know it goes a little deeper than that He's a highway chile Walk on 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'd probably a-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 Child
