| 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 creeps over the mountain, I’ll be on my way
|
| Now I’m gonna walk this old highway, until the break of day
|
| Come 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 farm (?)
|
| I’m gonna ax the good Lord what evil have I done |
