I got the key to the highway
And I'm billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here runnin'
'Cause walkin' is most too slow.
I'm goin' down on the border
Now, where I'm better known
'Cause, woman, you don't do nothin'
But drive a good man 'way from home.
Now, when the moon peeps over the mountain
I'll be on my way
Now, I'm gonna walk this old highway
Until the break of day.
Run here, sweet mama
Now, and help me with this heavy load
I am due in West Texas
And I've got to get on the road.
I'm goin' to West Texas
I'm goin' down behind the sun
I'm gonna ask the Good Lord
"What evil have I done?".
And I'm billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here runnin'
'Cause walkin' is most too slow.
I'm goin' down on the border
Now, where I'm better known
'Cause, woman, you don't do nothin'
But drive a good man 'way from home.
Now, when the moon peeps over the mountain
I'll be on my way
Now, I'm gonna walk this old highway
Until the break of day.

And I've got to get on the road.
I'm goin' to West Texas
I'm goin' down behind the sun
I'm gonna ask the Good Lord
