Merle Haggard
I Can’t Get Away
I've been running from life
I keep running from life
Hey, I'm still running from life
But I can't get away
I'd settle down if I could
Because there's one thing well understood
We all know running is no good
We can't get away
I drown my thoughts in a glass
Take any way up for a blast
Hey, to tried to get rid of the past
But I can't get away
There's no way out of it all
Yet I've got no use for it all
Yes, I will run till I fall
I can't get away
Everyone wants to be free
We always want to be free
But life won't let us be free
We can't get away
So I'll keep running from life
Hey, always running from life
I'd still keep running from life
I can't get away
I am running from life
I'm always running from life
I'm still running from life
And I can't get away
