Why Aint I Running - Lyrics by Garth Brooks


Lyrics
I can hear
\r
That highway calling
\r
As I watch the sunrise
\r
Crawling across her shoulder
\r
This is usually goodbye
\r
And yet those words
\r
I just can't find here
\r
As I hold her
\r
She's like no other woman
\r
That I have known before
\r
And it ain't me to
\r
See the morning sun
\r
From this side of the door
\r

\r
[CHORUS:]
\r
Why ain't I running?
\r
Why ain't I gone?
\r
How does she hold me
\r
Without holding on?
\r
In love or a fight
\r
She's stronger than strong
\r
Something's not right
\r
If there ain't nothing wrong
\r
It's got me wondering
\r
Why ain't I running?
\r
Why ain't I gona?
\r

\r
All those words
\r
I left behind me
\r
Praying they would never
\r
Find me and my freedom
\r
But if they stood
\r
Right here beside me
\r
They would never recognise me
\r
For all that she's done
\r

\r
Once happiness was only
\r
Whenever I was on my own
\r
So now why do I feel lonely
\r
Any time that I'm alone
\r

\r
[Repeat chorus]
\r

\r
No, they've never built
\r
A wall that high
\r
Or made a chain that strong
\r
And God ain't never
\r
Made a place
\r
I felt like I belong
\r

\r
[Repeat chorus]
\r
\r
