"I'm A Lonesome Fugitive"
Written by Merle Haggard.

* * *

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

I raised a lot of cain back in my younger days
and 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

Down every road there's always one more city
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
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

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