Key To The Highway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow
I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known
You know you haven't done nothing
Drove a good man away from home
When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day
Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go
'Cause when I leave this time you know I
I won't be back no more
