[F#]
Down every road [B] there's always one [C#] more city
I'm [B] on the run, [C#] the highway [F#] is my home
I raised a [B] lot of canes back [C#] in my younger days
While [B] mama used [C#] to pray my crops [F#] would fail
Now I'm [B] a hunted fugitive [C#] with just two ways
[B] Outrun the law [C#] or spend my life [F#] in jail
I'd like to settle [B] down but they [C#] won't let me
[B] A fugitive must be a rolling [F#] [C#] stone
[F#] Down every road [B] there's always one [C#] more city
I'm [B] on the run, [C#] the highway is [F#] my home
I'm
[B] [C#]
[B]
[C#] [F#]
lonely [B] but I can't afford [C#] the luxury
Of [B] having one [C#] I love to come [F#] along
She'd only slow me down [B] and [C#] they'd catch up with me
For [B] he who [C#] travels fastest [F#] goes alone
I'd like to settle [B] down but they [C#] won't let me
[B] A fugitive must be a rolling [C#] stone
[F#] Down every road [B] there's always one [C#] more city
I'm [B] on the run, [C#] the highway is [F#] my home
I'm [B] on the run, [C#] is [F#] my home
[N]
