Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got the key to the highway
Billed-out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow
[Verse 2]
I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known
You know you haven't done nothing
But drove a good man away from home
[Verse 3]
Oh give me one, one more kiss, mama
Just before I go
'Cause when I leave this time, girl, you know I
I won't be back no more
[Verse 4]
I got the key, key to the highway
Billed-out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow
[Verse 5]
I got the key to the highway
Oh, I'm billed out and I'm bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow
[Verse 6]
I'm going back, back to the border
Where I'm better known
You know you haven't done nothing
But drove a good man away from home
