Dave Alvin - Key To The Highway lyrics

rate me

I got the key to the highway

And I am bound to go

I wanna leave here running

Cause walk is most too slow

I’m going down to the border

Down where I’m better known

Cause when you never done nothing but trouble

Took me away from home

Now the moon keeps over the mountains

Yes, I’ll be on my way

I’m gonna run this all highway

‘til the break of day

So come here,sweet mother

And help me with this heavy load

Cause I’m doing West Texas

And I got to get onthe road

I’m going down to West Texas

I’m going way behind the sun

I wanna ask the good Lord

What evil have I done?

So give me one more kiss, mother

Just before I go

Cause when I leave this town

You know I won’t be back no more

I got the key to the highway

And I am bound to go

I wanna leave here running

Cause walk is most too slow
