Mel O'Joe

Intro	D	4Bars

	D	G	A
Down	every road there's	always one more	city

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

	D	G	A
I r	aised a lot of c	ane back in my y	ounger days

	G	A	D
While	Mama used to	pray my crops would	fail

D	G	A
Now I'm a hunted fu	gitive with just	two ways:

	G	A	D
Out	run the law or	spend my life in j	ail

D	G	A
I'd like to settle	down but they won't	let me

	G	A
A fu	gitive must be a rolling st	one

	D	G	A
Down e	very road there's a	lways one more c	ity

	G	A	D
I'm	on the run, the h	ighway is my h	ome

I'm l	onely but I c	an't afford the l	uxury

	G	A	D
Of h	aving one I l	ove to come a	long

	D	G	A
She'd o	nly slow me d	own and they'd catch	up with me

	G	A	D
For	he who travels f	astest goes a	lone

D	G	A
I'd like to settle	down but they won't	let me

	G	A
A fu	gitive must be a rolling st	one

	D	G	A
Down e	very road there's a	lways one more c	ity

	G	A	D
I'm	on the run, the h	ighway is my h	ome
