A D E
Down every road thereʼs always one more city
D E A
Iʼm on the run, the highway is my home
A D E
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
D E A
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
A D E
Now Iʼm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:
D E A
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
Chorus:
A D E
Iʼd like to settle down but they wonʼt let me
D E
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
A D E
Down every road thereʼs always one more city
D E A
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.
D E A
Iʼm on the run, the highway is my home
