G5                  C5               D5
Down every road there's always one more city
    C5               D5             G5
I'm on the run, the highway is my home


G5                  C5               D5
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
      C5            D5                   G5
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
G5                  C5               D5
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:
   C5              D5                 G5
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
       G5                  C5                   D5
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
    C5                          D5
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
      G5                  C5               D5
Down every road there's always one more city
    C5                D5             G5
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
    C5                D5             G5
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
