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

A                        D                          E  
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days  
  D                               E                                  A  
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail  
A                   D                  E  
I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:  
  D                         E                         A  
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail  
A                         D                              E  
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me  
 D                                          E    
A fugitive must be a rolling stone  
 A                                       D                           E  
Down every road there's always one more city  
 D                           E                      A  
I'm on the run, the highway is my home

I'd like to take you with me but can't afford the luxury  
  D                     E                  A  
A fugitive must be a rolling stone  
A                                D                                   E  
You'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me  
       D                      E                    A  
For he who travels fastest goes alone  
A                        D                               E  
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me  
   D                                         E  
A fugitive must be a rolling stone  
A                                        D                            E  
Down every road there's always one more city  
D                            E                       A  
I'm on the run, the highway is my home  

D                            E                      A
