B.B. King – Key To The Highway lyrics
I've got the key to the highway
Feel I got to go
Gonna leave here running
Walking is both too slow

I'm going back to the border
Baby where I'm better known
Because you haven't done nothing baby
But draw the good man from home

When the moon peeps over the mountain
Little girl I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roll the highway until the break of day

Oh give me one more kiss darling
Just before I go
Cause when I leave this time little girl
I won't be back no more

I've got the key to the highway
Little darling I got to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is both too slow
