Highway Chile Lyrics by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Smash Hits (UK Version)

1967

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But you'd probably call him a tramp
But it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile, yeah
[Verse 2]
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 lose with glory
[Chorus]
Now you'd probably call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Walk on brother, yeah!
Whoa
Yeah
One more brother
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Now you may call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile
[Outro]
Walk on brother
Don't let no one stop you
Highway chile
Yeah yeah yeah
Highway chile
Rolling stone
Go on down the highway
Highway chile
Yeah yeah yeah
Highway chile
