I Am A Lonesome Fugitive Tab

by Roy Buchanan


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

I'd like to take you with me but can't afford the luxury
                           
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
                                       
You'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 rolling stone
                                     
Down every road there's always one more city
                                
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
