I got the key to the highway, and I'm billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here runnin', cause walkin' is most too slow

I'm goin' down on the border, now where I'm better known
Cause woman you don't do nothin', but drive a good man 'way from home

Now when the moon creeps over the mountain, I'll be on my way
Now I'm gonna walk this old highway, until the break of day

I'm gonna tell you baby something I want you to do
Don't stay out all night baby, and I want your little heart to be true
Yeah because night time is the right time
To be with the one you love
With the one you love

Now don't forget baby, I love you with all my might
If you get home before midnight baby, I declare everything will be all right
Yeah because night time is the right time
