I've got the key to the highway
Down the road I got to go
I'm gonna leave here runnin'
Walkin' is much too slow

I dreamed when I was a lil' boy
Long long long long time ago
That I'd walk the same highway
That long been lost in the road

So long, so long darlin'
Don't have time to say goodbye
I guess I'll walk this ol' highway
Lord, until the day I die

I don't know where I'm going
I don't know why I got to go
But I've got the key to the highway
That long long lonesome road
