I Am a Lonesome Fugitive

guitar tabs lyrics

Roy Buchanan

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

A D E
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
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
