I've 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 known
'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 the mountains, honey
I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day

I've 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, its so long, so long, baby
I must say goodbye
I gotta roam, roam this highway
Until the day I die
