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
