[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
     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
 
 
[Chorus]
    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
 
 
[Interlude]
G   C   D
C   D   G
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G            C                D
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
   C            D             G
Of having one I love to come along
      G            C                     D
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
    C              D            G
For he who travels fastest goes alone
 
 
[Chorus]
    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
    C               D             G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
 
G   C   D
