hello dear Deep purple fansGenius Annotation“Highway Star” is a song by the English rock band Deep Purple. It is the opening track on their 1972 album Machine Head and is the fastest song in tempo on the album. It was released as the lead single and, despite not charting, it is still considered one of their most popular songs.This song was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing a riff consisting of a single “G” repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. The song was refined and was performed that same night.LyricsNobody gonna take my carI'm gonna race it to the groundNobody gonna beat my carIt's gonna break the speed of soundOoh it's a killing machineIt's got everythingLike a driving power big fat tiresAnd everythingI love it and I need itI bleed itYeah it's a wild hurricaneAlright hold tightI'm a highway starNobody gonna take my girlI'm gonna keep her to the endNobody gonna have my girlShe stays close on every bendOoh she's a killing machineShe's got everythingLike a moving mouth body controlAnd everythingI love her I need herI seed herYeah she turns me onAlright hold on tightI'm a highway starNobody gonna take my headI got speed inside my brainNobody gonna steal my headNow that I'm on the road againOoh I'm in heaven againI've got everythingLike a moving ground an open roadAnd everythingI love it and I need itI seed itEight cylinders all mineAlright hold on tightI'm a highway starNobody gonna take my carI'm gonna race it to the groundNobody gonna beat my carIt's gonna break the speed of soundOoh it's a killing machineIt's got everythingLike a driving power big fat tiresAnd everythingI love it and I need itI bleed itYeah it's a mad hurricaneAlright hold on tightI'm a highway starI'm a highway starI'm a highway star
