Haggard Merle — Lonesome Fugitive

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 
 
 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 
 G                 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 
 
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 
 
 C                D             G
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
