Classic Country Lyrics: "(I'm A) Lonesome Fugitive" von Liz Anderson

Erstaunlich, dass dieser Song von einer Frau ge-
schrieben wurde, nämlich von Liz Anderson, die
nicht nur selber einige Hits hatte, sondern auch
die Mutter der berühmten Sängerin Lynn Ander-
son war. Es war aber Merle Haggard, der den
Song bekannt machte, er wurde Merles erster
grosser Hit.

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'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

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
