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 
 
 I seen 'em dumpin' garbage, in my rivers and lakes 
 
 All right 
 
 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 gonna be myself 
 I'm runnin' down that highway child 
 
 
 
 Highway child 
 Highway child
