Biography:
Roy Buchanan's (September 23, 1939 - August 14, 1988) musical career began in Pixley, California. His father was a sharecropper (not a Pentecostal preacher as Buchanan himself had claimed). Buchanan told how his first musical memories were of racially-mixed revival meetings his family would attend. "Gospel," he recalled, "that's how I first got into black music". He in fact drew upon many disparate influences while learning to play his instrument (although he later claimed his aptitude was derived from being "half-wolf").

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

A fugitive must be a rolling stone
A D E
Down every road there's always one more city
D E A
I'm on the run, the highway is my home

I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
D E A
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail

I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:
D E A
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

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

Down every road there's always one more city

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