Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got the key
To the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running because
Walkin' is 'most too slow
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' back
To the border
Where I'm better known
Because you haven't done nothin'
But drove a good man away from home
[Verse 3]
Give me one
More kiss, mama
Just before I go
'Cause when I leave this town
Girl, I won't be back no more
[Verse 4]
When the moon
Peep over the mountain
Honey, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Until the break of day
[Verse 5]
Well, it's so long
So long, babe
I must say goodbye
I'm gonna roam this highway
Until the day I die
