Artist/Band: King Crimson
Lyrics for Song: Key To The Highway
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - King Crimson



I've got the key to the highway

Feel i got to go

Gonna leave here running

Walking is both too slow



I'm going back to the border

Baby where i'm better known

Because you haven't done nothing baby

But draw the good man from home



When the moon peeps over the mountain

Little girl i'll be on my way

I'm gonna roll the highway until the break of day



Oh give me one more kiss darling

Just before i go

Cause when i leave this time little girl

I won't be back no more



I've got the key to the highway

Little darling i got to go

I'm gonna leave here running

Walking is both too slow


Key To The Highway

King Crimson's "Key To The Highway" stands as a defining track within the band's progressive rock catalog, showcasing the group's signature fusion of complex time signatures and atmospheric textures. Recorded during the late 1960s, the song exemplifies the era's shift toward studio experimentation and extended compositions, a hallmark of the band's evolution from hard rock to avant-garde progressive styles. The piece features the distinctive interplay between guitarist Michael Giles and the ensemble's rhythmic precision, creating a soundscape that balances melodic accessibility with structural ambition. As a standalone recording, it captures the raw energy and technical prowess that characterized King Crimson's work in the mid-1960s, influencing countless subsequent acts in the progressive and psychedelic rock genres. The track remains a testament to the band's ability to craft intricate musical narratives that challenge conventional song structures while maintaining emotional resonance.
