[Instrumental Intro/Guitar Solo 00:00-01:56]
[Chorus]
I got the key

[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]

One more kiss mama
Just before I go

[Chorus]

Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here runnin'
Walkin' is most too slow
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I got the key
To the highway
Oh woah, Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here runnin'
Walkin' is most too slow
[Verse 3]
I'm going back
Back to the border
Babe, I'd better go
You know you haven't done nothin'
Drove a good man away from home
[Instrumental Outro/Guitar Solo]
