Highway chile

Highway chile Lyrics

Yeah, his guitar slung across his back
51st anniversary
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
A fifty years they've been married
He left home when he was seventeen
And they can't wait for their fifty first to roll around
The rest of the world he had longed to see
Yeah, roll around
But everybody knows the Boss
A thirty years they've been married
A rolling stone who gathers no moss
And now they're old and happy and they settle down

Settle down yeah!
But you'd probably call him a tramp
Twenty years they've been married
But it goes a little deeper than that
And they did everything that could be done
He's a highway chile, yeah
You know their havin' fun


Now some people say he had a girl back home
And then you come along and talk about
Who messed around and did him pretty wrong

They tell me it kinda hurt him bad
So you say you wanna be married
Kinda made him feel pretty sad
I'm gonna change your mind
I couldn't say what went through his mind
Oh got to change
Anyway, he left the world behind
That was the good side baby
But everybody knows the same old story,
Here comes the bad side
In love and war you can't lose in glory


Ten years they've been married
Now you'd probably call him a tramp
And a thousand kids run around hungry
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
Cause ther mother's a louse
He's a highway chile
Daddy's down at the wihiskey house

That ain't all
Walk on brother, yeah

One more brother
For thirty years they've been married

They don't get along so good
His old guitar slung across his back
They're tired of each other, you know how that goes
His dusty boots is his Cadillac
She got another lover
Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind
Huh same old thing
Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin


So now you're seventeen
Now you may call him a tramp
Running around hanging out, and a havin' your fun
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
Life for you has just begun, baby
He's a highway chile


And then you come saying
Walk on brother
So you, you say you wanna get married
Don't let no one stop you
Oh baby trying to put me on a chain
Highway chile
Aint that some shame
Yeah yeah yeah
You must be losing your, sweet little mind
Highway chile
I ain't ready yet, baby, i ain't ready
Go on down the highway
I'm gonna change your mind
Highway chile

Yeah yeah yeah
Oooh look out baby
Highway chile
Oh
I ain't ready
I ain't ready
I ain't ready

Let me live
Let me live
Let me live a little longer

Etc.
