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