I got the key to the highway
Packed up and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
'Cause walking is 'most too slow

I'm going back down to the border
Where I'm much better off
'Cause you ain't done nothing
But drive a good man away from home

So give me one more
One more kiss, baby, just before I go
I'll be back out on the highway
That's the only place I know

And when the moon creeps over my room
Honey I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day

I got the key to the highway
Packed up and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
'Cause walking is 'most too slow

Well, it's so long, so long, baby
I must say goodbye
I gotta roam, roam this highway
Until the day I die
