Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »

Down every road there's always one more city 
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I raised a lot of Cain back in my younger days 
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail 
Now 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
