Lyrics

I got a key to the highway
I'm rarin' to go
I got the key to the highway
I'm rarin' to go
'Cause I'm gonna leave here runnin'
Walkin' is more too slow
I'm goin' back to the border
Where I'm better known
I'm goin' back to the border
Where I'm better known
'Cause you ain't doin' nothin'
But drivin' a good man 'way from home
Give me one more kiss, mama
One more kiss before I go
Give me one more kiss, babe
Just before I go
I won't be here
Ain't comin' home no more
When the moon peeks over the mountain
I'll be on my merry way
When the moon peeks over the mountain
I'll be on my merry way
I'm goin' to walk the highway
Until the break of day
So long, babe
I must say goodbye
So long, so long, baby
I must say goodbye
I'm gonna roam the highway
Until the day ya die
Written by: Big Bill Broonzy, Charles Segar
