KEY TO THE HIGHWAY
(Big Bill Broonzy & Charles Segar)
I got the key to the highway
Feel like I’m bound to go
But I’ll come running 'cause
Walking is much too slow
I’m going back to the bottom (border)
Where I’m, I’m better known
’Cause when I leave this town, yeah
I won’t be back no more
Oh give me one more kiss, mama
Just before I go
Because when I leave this town
I won’t be back no more
When the moon peeps over the mountains
Honey, I’ll be on my way
I’m gonna roam this highway
Until the break of day
So give me one more kiss, mama
I must say goodbye
I’m gonna roam this highway
Until the day I die
