I Can't Escape from You

George Jones · Tender Years [Legacy] [2005]

I tried and tried to run and hide

To find a life that's new

But where I go I always know

I can't escape from you.



A jug of wine to numb my mind

But what good does it do

The jug runs dry and still I cry

I can't escape from you.



--- Instrumental ---



These wasted things or souvineer

Of a love I thought was true

Your memory is changing me

I can't escape from you.



There is no end I can't defend

That dream will soon come true

Afraid to roam a heart of stone

I can't escape from you...
