Highway Chile (Olympic Studios, London, UK April 3, 1967) - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Yeah, his guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his cadillac

Flamin hair just a blowin in the wind

Aint seen a bed in so long its 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 youd probably call him a tramp

But it goes a little deeper than that

Hes 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 couldnt say what went through his mind

Anyway, he left the world behind

But everybody knows the same old story,

In love and war you cant lose in glory

Now youd probably call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

Hes 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

Aint seen a bed in so long its a sin

Now you may call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

Hes a highway chile

Walk on brother

Dont let no one stop you

Highway chile

Yeah yeah yeah

Highway chile

Go on down the highway

Highway chile

Yeah yeah yeah

Highway chile
