I've got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running because
Walkin' is 'most too slow

I'm goin' back to the border
Where I'm better known
Because, you haven't done nothin'
But, drove a good man away from home

Give me one more kiss, mama
Just before I move
I'm gonna leave this town
Girl, I won't be back no more

When the moon peep over the mountain
Honey, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Until the break of day

Well, it's so long, so long babe
I'm gonna say goodbye
I'm gonna roam this highway
Until the day I die
