Lyrics

[Intro]
B7/A A7
E B7                E              B7/A
    I've got the key to the highway

[Verse 1]
A7
  Yes, I'm billed out and bound to go
                E
I'm gonna leave, leave here, runnin'
B7                            E
  Because walkin' is most too slow
B7              E          B7/A
  I'm going down on the border 

[Verse 2]
A7
  Yeah, baby you know
Where I'm better known
                   E
'Cause you haven't done nothin' yelling woman
B7                                   E
  But drove a good man away from home
B7                 E
  Now when the moon

[Verse 3]
                  B7/A
Peep o'vr the mountain
A7
  Yeah you know I'll be on my way
               E
I'm gonna walk, walk this highway
B7                         E B7
  Be until the break of day

[Solo]
E B7/A A7 E
B7 E
B7              E            B7/A
  Ah give me one mo' kiss, baby  

[Verse 4]
A7
  Yeah Just befo' I go
                   E
'Cause when I'm leavin' this town oh baby
B7                                E
  I declare I won't be back no mo'
B7                 E
  Now when the moon

[Verse 5]
                  B7/A
Peep o'vr the mountain
A7
  Yeah you know I'll be on my way
               E
I'm gonna walk, walk this all highway
B7                         E
  Be until the break of day
B7       E
  So long

[Verse 6]
           B7/A
And goodbye
A7
  Yes, I had to say goodbye
                     E
'Cause I'm gonna walk
        B7
Walk so highway
                      E
Be until the day I die
