Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Ooh, she's a killing machine
She got everything
Like a moving mouth
Body control and everything

I love her, I need her, I seed her
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
Ooh, I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
Like a moving ground
An open road and everything

I love it and I need it, I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it's a mad hurricane
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star

    This is one of the greatest rock tunes, with the the highest energy, a girl-car song like Queen's "I'm in Love with My Car," or T. Rex "Jeepster," Then he adds "head," to girl and car, crowning the picture like a "hubcap diamond-star halo!" It is a love song, cause he's gonna "keep her till the end." But the best is his free mind, and this shows the meaning of the bikers and metal heads. A good song too for study-as-mental-cruising, with coffee and liberty. So its three levels, car, girl, head: body, heart, mind. He holds on to his free thought or adreanal high life like he holds on to his car or his girl, the things most truly one's own.
