Lyrics
I got the key to the highway,
I possess the means to travel the highway
Billed out and bound to go
Officially documented and determined to depart
I'm gonna leave here running people
I plan to leave swiftly, as walking is too slow
Because walking is most too slow
Expressing the urgency to leave
I'm going back, to the border
I'm returning to the border
Before they put up the fence
Before barriers are erected
Where I'm better known
Going to a place where I am well-known
Because you haven't done nothing baby,
Highlighting the partner's inaction, leading to departure
Except drove a good man away from home
Indicating the partner's role in driving away a good man
When the moon peeks over the mountains
Referring to a future departure when the moon is visible
Baby I'm gonna be on my way
Expressing the intent to leave at that time
I'm gonna roam this mean old highway
Committing to travel on a challenging path
Until the break of day
Planning to continue the journey until dawn
So give me one, give one more kiss baby
Requesting a farewell kiss before departure
Before I go,
Asking for a final kiss before leaving
'Cause when I leave this town
Stating the determination to not return to the town
I won't be back no more, no more
Reiterating the decision to not come back
So give me one more kiss baby
Repeating the plea for a farewell kiss
Give me one more kiss baby before I go,
Again requesting a final kiss before departure
'Cause when I leave this town
Reiterating the decision to not return to the town
I won't be back no more, no more
Emphasizing the firmness of not coming back
So goodbye, goodbye baby
Bidding farewell to the partner
Baby I must, I must, I must say goodbye
Expressing the necessity of saying goodbye
Cause I'm a roam this mean old highway
Reaffirming the commitment to travel a challenging road
Until the day I die
Declaring the determination to continue the journey until death
I'm gonna do this til the day I die folks
Reiterating the commitment to continue the journey throughout life
