I got the key, yes to the highway
billed out and bound to go
I will leave here a runnin' babe,
cause walkin' is much too slow
I'm goin' back, yes to the delta
where I am better known
where they don't take a good man
so far away from home
so give me one, more kiss baby
yes and then I will go
when I leave this highway
wont be back no more
I see the sun, behind the mountain
moon way up in the sky
well I'll roam this highway baby
until the day I die
so long, goodbye baby
baby, baby, baby goodbye
I will roam this highway darlin'
until the day I die
cause I got the key, yes to the highway
billed out and bound, billed out and bound to go
when I leave this town darlin' now
won't be back no more
billed out and bound to go
I will leave here a runnin' babe,
cause walkin' is much too slow
I'm goin' back, yes to the delta
where I am better known
where they don't take a good man
so far away from home
so give me one, more kiss baby
yes and then I will go
when I leave this highway
wont be back no more
I see the sun, behind the mountain
moon way up in the sky
well I'll roam this highway baby
until the day I die
so long, goodbye baby
baby, baby, baby goodbye
I will roam this highway darlin'
until the day I die
cause I got the key, yes to the highway
billed out and bound, billed out and bound to go
when I leave this town darlin' now
won't be back no more
