I watched BB King live in Panama City in 2010. I was amazed by how he interacted with the crowd, not the fact he did interact, but the way he did it. He was larger than life. Before he played key to the highway, he asked a man near the front if the lady beside him was his wife, the man replied, "yes", to which BB said with his warm smile, "that's real nice, I'm glad there's men like you out there, cause it allows me to do what I do." Then in the same motion jumped into the opening notes of key to the highway. Legend.

I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow

I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known
You know you haven't done nothing
Drove a good man away from home

[Live-version verse:]
When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day

Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go
'Cause when I leave this time you know I
I won't be back no more

I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow

I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known
You know you haven't done nothing
Drove a good man away from home

[papaldanondo]

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.


Instrumental.

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.

For sure, my favorite Master Clapton "never missed a note in his life" Clapton cover song...

That BB guy ain't bad either ?

Why does Eric seem to have a lisp in this recording?
