I'm a Lonesome Fugitive

Down every road there's always one more city

I'm on the run, the highway is my home

I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days

While momma used to pray my crops would bail

Now I'm a hunted fugitive

With just two ways

Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

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

A fugitive must be a rollin' stone

Down every road there's always one more city

I'm on the run, the highway is my home

I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury

Of havin' 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

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

A fugitive must be a rollin' 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
