Verso 1: Key to the highway Packed up and bound to go I'm gonna leave here running N.C. 'Cause walking most too slow Verso 2: N.C. I'm going back down to the border Where I'm much better off 'Cause you ain't done nothing N.C. But drive a good man away from home Verso 3: N.C. So give me one more One more kiss, baby, just before I go Back out on the highway N.C. That's the only place I know Verso 4: And when the moon creeps over my room Honey I'll be on my way I'm gonna roam this old highway N.C. Until the break of day Verso 5: N.C. I got the key to the highway Packed up and bound to go I'm gonna leave here running N.C. 'Cause walking is 'most too slow Verso 6: N.C. Well, it's so long, so long, baby I must say goodbye I gotta roam, roam this highway Until the day I die
