LYRICS:
=========
Well I'm going down to see my Highway Girl
Yeah, she just got back from around the world
I'm gonna get me a gun I'm gonna stand on guard
In a little white booth in her front yard
Throwing rocks at her window what could she do
If you throw enough rocks one might break through
Well she looked out her window when the police came
Yeah, to see a big tin man dancing in the rain
CHORUS:
Ohhhhhhhhh, my little Highway Girl
Ohhhhhhhhh, my little Highway Girl
Yeah...
SOLO
Don't you think babe you push a bit too fast
I said slowing down don't make it last
Yeah, she said a memory's never gonna set you free
Ohhhhh, go out and see that world and bring it home to me
CHORUS
