Bonnie “Prince” Billy
The Fugitive
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 on the run‚ the highway is my home
