F A# C
Down every road thereʼs always one more city
A# C F
Iʼm on the run, the highway is my home
F A# C
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
A# C F
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
F A# C
Now Iʼm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:
A# C F
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
Chorus:
F A# C
Iʼd like to settle down but they wonʼt let me
A# C
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
F A# C
Down every road thereʼs always one more city
A# C F
Iʼm on the run, the highway is my home
Iʼm lonely but I canʼt afford the luxury
Of having one I love to come along
Sheʼd only slow me down and theyʼd catch up with me
For he who travels fastest goes alone
Chorus.
A# C F
Iʼm on the run, the highway is my home
