Lyrics

I've got the key
To the highway
Billed out and bound to go
Gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow
I'm going back
To the border
Baby, where I'm
Better known
Because you haven't done nothing baby
But drove a good man from home
When the moon
Peeks o'er the mountain
You'll go, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Until the break of day
Oh, give me one
More kiss darling
Just before I go
'Cause when I leave this time little girl
I won't be back no more
I've got the key
(I've got the key)
To the highway
(To the highway)
Billed out and bound to go
(I gotta go, I gotta go)
I'm going to leave here running
(Mm-hmm)
Walking is most too slow
(Is most too slow)
Written by: Big Bill Broonzy, Charles Segar
