Key To The Highway

by Big Bill Broonzy / Charles Segar recording of 2000 from Riding With The King (Warner Brothers 47612) I've got the key to the highway Feel I got to go Gonna leave here running Walking is both too slow I'm going back to the border Baby where I'm better known Because you haven't done nothing baby But draw the good man from home When the moon peeps over the mountain Little girl I'll be on my way I'm gonna roll the highway until the break of day Oh give me one more kiss darling Just before I go 'Cause when I leave this time little girl I won't be back no more I've got the key to the highway Little darling I got to go I'm gonna leave here running Walking is both too slow
