[Verse 1]
          A7         E7
​I got the key to the highway,
        D7                      D7
And I'm billed out and bound to go
          A7
I'm gonna leave here runnin',
E7                           A7     E7
  'Cause walkin' is most too slow

[Verse 2]
          A7          E7
I'm goin' down on the border,
    D7               D7
Now where I'm better known
      A7                 
Cause woman you don't do nothin',
E7                               A7      E7
  But drive a good man 'way from home

[Verse 3]
             A7                   E7
Now when the moon creeps over the mountain,
D7            D7
I'll be on my way
              A7         
Now I'm gonna walk this old highway,
E7                   A7     E7
  Until the break of day

[Verse 4]
A7               E7
Come here, sweet mama,
        D7                      D7
Now and help me with this heavy load
     A7
I am due in West Texas,
E7                           A7      E7
  And I've got to get on the road

[Verse 5]
    A7            E7
I'm goin' to West Texas,
          D7              D7
I'm goin' down behind the sun
          A7
I'm gonna ask the good Lord
E7                 A7      E7
  What evil have I done
