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 C#7#9 He left home when he was seventeen The rest of the world he was gonna see Fm And everybody knows the boss a rollin` stone gathers no moss G# Now you`d probably a-call him a tramp A# But it goes a little deeper than that Fm He`s a highway chile Highway Chile Fm 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 G# Now you`d probably a-call him a tramp A# But I know it goes a little deeper than that He`s a highway chile Walk on brother C#7#9 His old guitar slung across his back His dusty boots is his cadillac Fm Flamin` hair just a-blowin` in the wind ain`t seen a bed in so long it`s a sin G# Now you`d probably a-call him a tramp A# 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
