Meaning of "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive" by Jerry Lee Lewis

The lyrics of "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive" paint a picture of a man who is constantly running, both physically and emotionally. He longs for stability and companionship but understands that his circumstances prevent him from having those luxuries. The idea of being a fugitive being compared to a rolling stone emphasizes the loneliness and lack of permanence in his life. The lyrics speak to the consequences of one's actions and the unrelenting nature of the consequences faced by those who choose a life on the run. The repetition of "Down every road there's always one more city" highlights the endless cycle of running and the inevitability of his situation.
