************************************************************

E                       A               B
Down every road there's always one more city,
    A              B             E
I'm on the run the highway is my home.

E                A               B
I raised a lotta cain back in my younger days,
      A            B                   E
While mama used to pray my crops would fail.
E                A             B
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two way's,
   A              B                E
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail.

Chorus:
E                  A                   B
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me,
  A                         B
A fugitive must be a rollin stone.
     E                  A               B
Down every road there's always one more city,
    A              B             E
I'm on the run the highway is my home.


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

Sing Chorus
    A              B             E
I'm on the run the highway is my home.
