Love Caught up to Me - Dwight Yoakam

Baby, I couldn’t hide

No matter how hard I tried

Was foolish to have begun

To believe I’d ever outrun

And honey, I had no call

To try and escape at all

'Cause by the time I got free

Love caught up to me

Baby, I used to have ways

To avoid anyplace

That even had half the chance

To cut in on my dance

Yeah, my cool heart hung around

Only if it couldn’t be found

But showed up permanently

When love caught up to me

The fascinations of each lie

I told myself were reasons why

The feeble boast I made alone

Sound faded, worn and all outgrown

--- Instrumental ---

Hey, I could never afford

Honey, all it would cost

To replace what you do

If it ever got lost

But baby, I’d beg and steal

Just to keep how I feel

A way I never did need

'Til love caught up to me

The fascinations of each lie

I told myself were reasons why

The feeble boast I made alone

Sound faded, worn and all outgrown

Baby, I couldn’t hide

No matter how hard I tried

Was foolish to have begun

To believe I’d ever outrun

And honey, I had no call

To try and escape at all

'Cause by the time I got free

Love caught up to me

Yeah, by the time I got free

Love caught up to me…
