INTRO


     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.
                  A               B
I raised a lot of Cain back in my younger days,
      A             B                   E
While Momma used to pray my crops would fail.
                 A             B
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:
   A               B                E
Outrun the law, or spend my life in jail.


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

INSTRUMENTAL


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


                   A                   B
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me,
