I've got the key, to the highway

Feel Lord, I am bound to go

I'm gonna leave here runnin'

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, mo' kiss, mama

Just befo' I go

'Cause when I leave this time, girl I won't

Won't be back no mo'

(harmonica & instrumental)

When the mo-oon

Peep ov'r the mountain

Honey, I'll be on my way

I'm gonna roam this highway

Until the break a-day

Well, it's so long

So long, baby

I'm gon' say, goodbye

I'm gonna roam this highway

Until the day I die.
