I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
Gonna leave here running
Walking is much 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 over the mountains
Lil girl, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Until the break of day

So 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, no more

I got the key (I got the key) to the highway (to the highway)
Billed out and bound to go (I gotta go, I gotta go)
I'm gonna leave here running (mhm)
Walking is much too slow
