Lyrics:

(by charles segar and willie broonzy)


I got the key to the highway,

Billed out and bound to go.

I'm gonna leave here running;

Walking is most too slow.


I'm going back to the border

Woman, where I'm better known.

You know you haven't done nothing,

Drove a good man away from home.


Live verse: when the moon peeks over the mountains

I'll be on my way.

I'm gonna roam this old highway

Until the break of day.


Oh give me one, one more kiss mama

Just before I go,

'cause when I leave this time you know i,

I won't be back no more.


First verse


Second verse
