Lyrics

[Intro]
| D | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
     D
Down every road,
        G               A
there's always one more city
    G               A             D
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
                      G           A
I raised a lot of Cain back in my younger days
      G                A               D
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
                 G             A
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways
   G              A                D
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

[Chorus]
    D
I'd like to settle down,
G               A
 but they won't let me
  G                          A
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
     D
Down every road,
        G               A
there's always one more city
    G               A                 D
I'm on the run, the highway is my home

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
    D
I'm lonely,
      G                A
but I can't afford the luxury
   G                A         D
Of having one I love to come along
                       G                 A
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
    G              A             D
For he who travels fastest goes alone

[Chorus]
    D
I'd like to settle down,
G               A
 but they won't let me
  G                          A
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
     D
Down every road,
        G               A
there's always one more city
    G               A             D
I'm on the run, the highway is my home

[Outro]
    G               A             D
I'm on the run, the highway is my home

[Fade Out]
