Lyrics

[Chorus]
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 1]
I'm going back to the border
Little girl, where I'm better known
Because you haven't done nothing
But drove a good man away from home
When the moon peaks over the mountain
Little girl, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this old highway
'Til the break of day
[Instrumental]
Well then so long, so long, baby
I must say goodbye
I'm gonna roam this old highway
'Til the day I die
[Instrumental]
Give me one more kiss, mama
Just before I go
'Cause when I leave this time
I won't be back no more
[Chorus]
I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow
Written by: Big Bill Broonzy, Charles Segar
