[Chorus]
I got the key to the highway
I'm geared up and bound to go
I'm gonna leave this town running
Walking is much too slow

[Verse 2]
I'm going back to the border
Where I'm better known
You know you haven't done nothing
But drove a good man away from your home

[Verse 3]
Now, when the moon peeps over the mountain
I'll be on my way
You know I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day

[Verse 4]
Oh so give me one, one more kiss daddy
Just before I go
You know you haven't done nothing
But drove a good woman away from home

[Chorus]
I got the key, oh I got the key
You know I'm geared up, I'm gearеd up and bound to go
I'm gonna leave this town running
Walking, walking's much too slow
