[Strophe]
A7              E7 
I got the key to the highway, 
D7 
Billed out and bound to go. 
A7 
I'm gonna leave here running 
D7                      A7 D7 A7 E7 
Walking is most too slow.
[Strophe]
A7              E7 
I'm going back to the border 
D7 
Woman, where I'm better known. 
A7 
You know you haven't done nothing, 
D7                      A7 D7 A7 E7 
Drove a good man away from home.
[Strophe]
A7              E7 
When the moon peeks over the mountains 
D7 
I'll be on my way. 
A7 
I'm gonna roam this old highway 
D7                      A7 D7 A7 E7 
Until the break of day.
[Strophe]
A7              E7 
Oh give me one, one more kiss mama 
D7 
Just before I go, 
A7 
'Cause when I leave this time you know I, 
D7                      A7 D7 A7 E7 
I won't be back no more.
[Strophe]
A7              E7 
I got the key to the highway, 
D7 
Billed out and bound to go. 
A7 
I'm gonna leave here running; 
D7                      A7 D7 A7 E7 
Walking is most too slow.
[Strophe]
A7              E7 
I'm going back to the border 
D7 
Woman, where I'm better known. 
A7 
You know you haven't done nothing, 
D7                      A7 D7 A7 E7 
Drove a good man away from home.
