I've got the key, to the highway,
billed out my Reno and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running,
because, walkin' is most too slow

Give me one more kiss, mama,
just before I have to go
when I'm gonna leave this town, girl
Ain't coming back down no more

I'm goin' back back to the highway,
where I'm better known
Because, you haven't done nothin',
but drove, a good man away from his home

Well it's so long, so long baby,
I'm gonna say goodbye
I'm gonna roam this ole highway,
until the day I die

When the moon peep over the mountain,
I'll be on my lonesome way
I'm gonna roam this ole highway,
until the break of day
