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
