Lonesome Fugitive

Lonesome Fugitive

 

 

[Chorus]

G                            C                                         D

I’d like to settle down but they won’t let me

C                                            D

A fugitive must be a rolling stone

G                                 C                        D

Down every road there’s always one more city

C                            D                        G

I’m on the run, the highway is my home

 

[Verse 1]

G                      C                             D

I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days

C                                                          D

While my mama used to pray my crops would fail

G                                 C                                 D

Now I’m a hunted fugitive with just two ways:

C                                                    D

Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

[Chorus]

 

[Verse 2]

G                                 C                                                   D

I’d like to take you with me, but i can’t afford the luxury

C                                                    D

Of having one i love to come along

G                           C                                                  D

You’d only slow me down and they’d catch up with me

C                                              D

He who travels fastest goes alone

[Chorus]
