I Got The Key (Key To The Highway)

John Lee Hooker


I got the key to the highway, 
dear Lord, I'm bound to go 
I'm gonna roam this highway, untill the day I die 
Yes, when the moon peep o'er the mountain, 
honey, I'll be on my way 
I'm gonna roam this higway until the day I die 
Just give me one, one more kiss, babe, 
baby, just before I go 
Because I'm leavin' this mornin', I won't be back no more 
So I said, "So long, so long baby", 
honey, I must say goodbye 
'Cause when I leave this time, I won't be back no mo' 
Give me the key, key to the highway, 
I'm movin' on down the line 
'Cause when I leave this time, I won't be back no more 
Just give me one, one last kiss, baby, 
hold me in your lovin' arms 
Because when I leave this time, I won't be back no more
