Down every [B] road there's always one [C#] more city.
[B] I'm on the run, [C#] the highway [F#] is my home.
I raised a [B] lot of cane back in [C#] my younger days.
[B] While mama used [C#] to pray my crops [F#] would fail.
Now I'm a [B] 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 [C#] stone.
[F#] Down every road there's [B] always one [C#] more city.
[B] I'm on the run, [C#] the highway is [F#] my home.

I'm lonely [B] but I can't afford [C#] the luxury
of
[B] having one [C#] I love to come [F#] along.
She'd only [B] slow me down and [C#] they'd catch up with me.
[B] For he who [C#] travels fastest [F#] goes alone.
I'd like to settle [B] down but they [C#] won't let me.
