(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
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
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tyres 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
Oooh she's a killing machine
She's 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 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
Oooh I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
1. Like a moving ground, throttle control and everything*
2. 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 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
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tyres and everything
I love it, and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold on tight, I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star, I'm a highway star1. Line as written on the Machine Head lyric sheet *
