Key to the Highway

I got the key to the highway
And I’m billed out
And bound to go
I’m gonna leave here running
Cause walking is much too slow

I’m going down to the border
Where I’m better known
Cause woman you don’t do nothing
But drive a good man
‘way from home

Now when the moon creeps over the mountain
I’ll be on my way
Now I’m gonna walk this old highway
Until the break of day

Come here, sweet mama,
Now and help me with this heavy load
I am due in West Texas
And I’ve got to get on the road

I’m going to West Texas
I’m going down behind the sun
I’m gonna ax the good lord
What evil I have done

I got the key to the highway
I’m billed out
and bound to go
I’m gonna leave here running
Cause walking is much too slow
