G C D
Down every road there's always one more city
C D G
I'm 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 I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:
C D G
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
G C D
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
C D
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
G C D
Down every road there's always one more city
C D G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
Of having one I love to come along
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
For he who travels fastest goes alone
CHORUS
C D G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
