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 got everything
Like a moving ground, an open road
And everything
I love it and I need it, I feel 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 tight
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star

Dear Lord is there anything the guy can’t sing?? We are witnessing the beginnings of a legend. No one out there can touch Erik.

[@alvindorschtjr2356]

Legend doesn't cover it....his voice saved my life, and I can't imagine how many others! His voice brings ppl out of depression

[@sandorraduly5730]

I would love to see him in a duet with Tommy Johansson 😉 that would be epic, no doubt

[@hemulik.8117]

After hearing how and what he sings.. my answer to your question would be .. No.. there is not a song Erik can't sing.. some pipes and voice from Sweden 😊

[@sdsmt99]

Sebastian Bach songs. He can't sing those.

[@ellenpoisson5514]

He can't sing Deep Purple either. he doesn't have the right voice for their songs. Music is spot on however.

[@Excodisal]

Nowadays we need more of this! The music bar is too low for new artists. So refreshing! And that voice, god bless him!

[@carlsandberg8247]

Awesome cover of Highway Star! Erik is a natural born rock star and the whole band did a phenomenal job! 🤘👏👏👍👍🎙️🎸🥁♥️

[@mexidolx]

But the made in Japan version will not be surpassed by anyone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZXdg2eCr7eqsLM

[@jenohathazi920]

I really like Deep Purple, I grew up with them, I've been to quite a few concerts. I have these musics and melodies in my heart. Well, I have never heard such a perfect performance. I can only speak of this in superlatives... Never stop, I'm really great.

[@frankcooper5364]

In addition to your beautiful singing Erik The guitar the keyboard. Everything is top-notch, totally awesome, amazing!! Everything blew me away. I listen to your cover of the song as much as I can. Can't get enough of it. And I can't get enough of your singing awesome. You and the band deserve all the credit!!

Appreciate that Frank!

[@user-di6ds1uu8u]

AWESOME 👍👏🙏

[@IvanaMedovka]

Now, now, my, my...that's a way to wake me UP 💥 You guys are on fire. Literally 🔥 I mean... Jona - which instrument that guy CAN'T play like a boss?! Georg - absolute beast on those drums! Lautaro - can't follow where his fingers are flying! And you, Erik - knocked it out of park! All in all, you are all insane and I absolutely love it ❤️ Keep being badass and blowing my mind 🙏🏻

[@Hishamds]

The whole band is perfectly perfect.

[@artykim]

One of the best cover of Highway Star!

[@user-qz8ex5uv2i]

Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly and Black Sabbath were known as The Unholy Trio in the "way back" and are generally credited with gifting heavy metal to US teens. THANK YOU for bringing this classic back and even kicking it up exponentially! Head phones on! Volume to max! Long live heavy metal!

LONG LIVE HEAVY METAL!

[@stephenhood2948]

Just read the news about K Skid Row. So sorry to hear bro, but I'm glad to see your health takes a back seat to nothing. Take care of yourself my friend. What you have been able to overcome and accomplish is absolutely amazing, you are an inspiration to us all. Post somevid3os of that awesome voice if yours when you can, but most importantly take care of yourself!!

När jag för drygt 50 år sedan hörde öppningsspåret på Deep Purple´s LP Made In Japan väcktes intresset för hårdrock. Sen kommer denna makalösa cover! Galet bra! Tack för att du tar dig modet och levererar ytterligare en klassiker!

[@scottallen6160]

Straight up, flat out, across the board, Fantastic! The whole band never ceases to impress! Great job! ✌️😎👍💕

Very good that you take this song on. Wooh synth and guitar and song.

[@maryshumate4629]

I was smitten with Deep Purple when their Machine Head album was released, and I still have it! They were the first rock band I saw in concert when this album was released, and this song has been on my top 20 of all time songs. Excellent cover!!

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

I agree. Machine Head is my fav followed by Burn. This was a good cover.

[@MBelisario-tl6dd]

I love it, I need it! Yeah! 💪

[@stevek917]

Fantastic!

[@Ignatios89]

What a turbo charged version of a classic! I also really liked what the guitarist did with the second part of the solo. 👍 If there's going to be an Eriksplanations vol.2, this one has to make it in the tracklist!

[@hanslindvall7530]

Amazing !

[@julietdispensa2754]
