I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

[Verse 1]
Down every road, there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I raised a lot of Cain back in my younger days
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

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

[Verse 2]
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]
I'd like to settle down, but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
