Big Bill Broonzy - Key To The Highway (Version 2)

(Big Bill Broonzy & Charles Segar)

I got the key to the highway,
Yes, I'm billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave, leave here runnin',
Because walkin' is most too slow

I'm goin' down on the border,
Yes baby, you know where I'm better known
'Cause you haven't done nothin' here little woman,
But drive a good man away from home

Now when the moon peeps over the mountain,
Yeah, you know I'll be on my way
I'm gonna walk, walk this old highway,
Babe, until the break of day
Now give me one more kiss baby,
Yes, just before I go
'cause when I leave you this time now baby,
I declare I won't be back no more

Now when the moon peeps over the mountain,
Yeah, you know I'll be on my way
I'm gonna walk, walk this old highway,
Until the break of day

So long, goodbye,
Yes, I had to say goodbye
'Cause I'm gonna walk, walk this old highway,
Babe, until the day I die
