I Can't Run Away from Myself

Ray Price · The Honky Tonk Years (1950-1966) [Bear Family (Ger [1996]

(Hank Cochran - Ray Price)



The day you left me I left town that night

I thought I could forget that you're out of sight

But you're still a part of me and so I see

That miles can't change a thing for me.



I ran away from friends that we once knew

I tried to run from thoughts of losing you

I ran away from everybody else

But I can't run away from myself.



--- Instrumental ---



It makes no difference just how far I'd go

Your memory will always haunt me so

I realize the truth now since I left

That I can't run away from myself.



I ran away from friends that we once knew

I tried to run from thoughts of losing you

I ran away from everybody else

But I can't run away from myself...
