Lyrics: Liz and Casey Anderson
Music: Liz and Casey Anderson
A Merle Haggard song, played by Bob Weir with Kingfish a few times in 1975.
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 might fail
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
And 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'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
Of asking someone close to come along
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up to me
For he who travels fastest goes alone
And 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
