Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                       C               D
Down every road there's always one more city

    C               D             G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home.
[Verse 2]
G                 C               D
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days

      C            D                   G
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail

                 C                  D
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways

   C              D                G
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail.
[Chorus]
G                  C                   D
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me

  C                          D
A fugitive must be a rolling stone

     G                  C               D
Down every road there's always one more city

    C               D             G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home.
[Instrumental] G C D C D G [Verse 3]
G                C                D
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury

   C            D            G
Of having one I love to come along

                   C                     D
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me

    C              D            G
For he who travels fastest goes alone.
[Chorus]
G                  C                   D
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me

  C                          D
A fugitive must be a rolling stone

     G                  C               D
Down every road there's always one more city

    C               D             G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home.
[Outro]
G   C               D             G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
