I Can't Get Away - Merle Haggard

I’ve been runnin' from life

I keep runnin' from life

Hey, I’m still runnin' from life

But I can’t get away

I’d settle down if I could

'Cause there’s one thing well understood

We all know run is no good

We can’t get away

I’d run 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

And 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 runnin' from life

Hey, always runnin' from life

I’d still keep runnin' from life

I can’t get away

I’m runnin' from life

I’m always runnin' from life

I’m still runnin' from life

And I can’t get away
