I'm a Lonesome Fugitive
''I'm a Lonesome Fugitive'' is an album by Merle Haggard released on Capitol Records in 1967.
==Recording and composition==
The song "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive" brought Haggard country stardom. Although it sounds autobiographical (Haggard had done time at San Quentin), David Cantwell states in his book ''The Running Kind'' that it was actually written by Liz Anderson and her husband Casey while driving cross country and was inspired by the popular television show ''The Fugitive'' starring David Jansen and Richard Kimble. Haggard felt a connection to the song immediately and when it was released it became his first number one country hit. When Anderson played the song for Haggard, she was unaware about his prison stretch. "I guess I didn't realize how much the experience at San Quentin did to him, 'cause he never talked about it all that much," Bonnie Owens, Haggard's backup singer and then-wife, is quoted in the liner notes to the 1994 retrospective ''Down Every Road''. "I could tell he was in a dark mood...and I said, 'Is everything okay?' And he said, 'I'm really scared.' And I said, 'Why?' And he said, 'Cause I'm afraid someday I'm gonna be out there...and there's gonna be some convict...some prisoner that was in there the same time I was in, stand up - and they're gonna be about the third row down - and say, 'What do you think you're doing, 45200?'"〔''Down Every Road 1962–1994'' compilation album. Liner notes by Daniel Cooper〕 Haggard would address the issue on his next album, ''Branded Man''.
In 1996, ''I'm a Lonesome Fugitive'' was reissued by BGO Records along with ''Mama Tried''.
