A7             E7  D7
Key to the highway
D7
Packed up and bound to go
          A7
I'm gonna leave here running
E7             D7        A7   D7  E7 N.C.
'Cause walking most too slow

[Verse 2]
N.C.      A7               E7
I'm going back down to the border
D7
Where I'm much better off
           A7
'Cause you ain't done nothing
     E7          D7            A7    D7 E7 N.C.
But drive a good man away from home

[Verse 3]
N.C.               A7
So give me one more
         E7         D7
One more kiss, baby,  just before I go
A7
Back out on the highway
E7               D7      A7   D7 E7 N.C.
That's the only place I know

[Verse 4]
A7                       E7
And when the moon creeps over my room
      D7
Honey I'll be on my way
          A7
I'm gonna roam this old highway
E7        D7         A7  D7 E7 N.C.
Until the break of day

[Verse 4]
N.C.      A7         E7
I got the key to the highway
D7
Packed up and bound to go
           A7
I'm gonna leave here running
E7                 D7         A7 D7 A7 N.C.
'Cause walking is 'most too slow

[Verse 5]
N.C.       A7                E7
Well, it's so long, so long, baby
D7
I must say goodbye
        A7
I gotta roam, roam this highway
E7        D7    A7  D7 E
Until the day I die
