highway chile

• isminin doğru ingilizceye highway child olarak çevirebileceğimiz jimi hendrix şarkısı. rock tarihindeki en tanıdık introlardan birine sahiptir.
  ayrıca bob dylan'ın like a rolling stone ve blowin in the wind şarkılarına dokundurur. hemen belirtmeden geçemiyeceğim ki hendrix büyük bir dylan hayranıydı. yani çok şaşırmıyoruz bu selama.
  
  yeah
  his guitar swung across his back
  his dusty boots and its his cadillac
  a pavement here 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 longed to see
  and everybody who knows who's boss
  a rolling stone gathers no moss
  
  now you probably call him a tramp
  but it goes a little deepper than that
  he's a highway chile
  
  yeah
  now some people say he had a girl back home
  who messed him aroound 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 thru his mind
  anyway he left the world behind
  and everbody knows the same old story
  another war you can't lose in golory
  
  now you probably call him a tramp
  but i know it goes a little deeper than that
  he's a highway chile
  one more brother
  yeah!
  
  his old guitar swung across his back
  his dusty boots and his his cadillac
  a pavement here just a blowin' in the wind
  ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin
  
  now you may call him a tramp
  but i know it go was a little depper than that
  he's a highway chile
  walk on brother
  don't let no one stop ya
  
  yeah
  highway chile
  yeah yeah yeah
  go on down the highway
  highway chile

• bir bob seger parçası. mongrel albümünden. sözleri; ^*
  
  i wasn't born lookin' back, i can't tell white from black
  kesey next to me now darling, straighter than a railroad track
  i've been so high, my mind was dry
  i rent it out to farmers on the midnight ride
  that ain't all
  i ain't even got me a congressman i can call
  all right
  i seen 'em dumpin' garbage, in my rivers and lakes
  i seen 'em send up john sinclair, you know
  two joints is all it takes
  then suddenly i was in a tree
  and dogs were barking up at me
  can't you see
  i'm so damn apethetic, i can't believe i'm free
  
  as the senator he signs the bills you know
  and he's telling us which way we have to go
  think it's time we got together and declared
  when you see them coming and you get so scared
  
  rain is falling down, but you know i'm feeling fine
  i think i'll watch the tv set, let america steal my mind
  but you know i'm cool, momma had a rule
  she didn't raise no fool to be true to someone else
  i'm runnin' down that highway child
  i'm gonna be myself
  highway child
  highway child
