I Can't Escape from You

(Hank Williams)



I've 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.



These wasted tears are souvenirs

Of a love I thought was true

Your memory is chained to me

I can't escape from you.



There is no end, I can't pretend

That dreams will soon come true

A slave too long to a heart of stone

I can't escape from you...
