Highway Pirate

(album: X-Rated - 1975)

Moving makes me thirsty, hungry deep down
Got my heart and soul from the lost and found
I'm a high rider baby, say, don't need no creed
I'm aimed in my ways, let me do what I please, yeah

I'm a sailor on the road, music is my game
Truck all day, play all night, no town is the same
Looking for some action, trouble is my friend
Looking for a woman who will let me in
Let me in

I feel free 'cause I'm a highway pirate
Highway pirate, highway pirate
Stealing your love away

Well I pulled into town on a one night stand
Broken down, I had no money to spend
Chanced upon a lady, there she stood all alone
Told her I would love her if she'd take me home and she did

Well I drank all her wine and I drank her sweet love
She was to me like the stars above
Told her that I loved her but I could not stay
So I stoled her love and I ran away
Ran away

I couldn't stay 'cause I'm a highway pirate
Highway pirate, highway pirate
Stealing your love away

I'm moving down the road, I got my own speed
I travel light, just take what I need
Trucking and toking, just cruising along
In two or three months I'll be headed home
Been so long

'Cause I'm a highway pirate
Highway pirate, highway pirate
Stealing your love away
I'm a highway pirate
Highway pirate, highway pirate
Stealing your love away

I'm a highway pirate
I'm a highway pirate
I'm a highway pirate
I'm a highway pirate
I'm a highway pirate
I'm a highway pirate
I'm a highway pirate
I'm a highway pirate
