THROWBACK-- Trace Adkins "I Can't Outrun You"

This is one of my all time favorite country songs and it was more than time to make sure everyone else has heard it too.  Full disclosure warning: this song is my number one procrastination tool and has resulted multiple times in me not being able to take it off repeat.  If you have something important to do I recommend waiting til later to play it because the emotional rawness of this song completely takes you over.  Trace Adkins sings this song with such honesty, in a broken down, hopelessly tired voice that seems to have given up trying to move on.   The chorus is incredibly powerful, and the final words of the song are haunting when we realize that through all this regret he was the one that choose to walk away but later realized he never really could.

Ninety-five down the interstate

Mile high on a jet plane

Desert road or a downtown train

It's all the same

I can't outrun you

Now I can move to another town

And nobody to ask where you are now

LA or Mexico

No matter where I go

I can't outrun you

You're in my heart

You're in my mind

Everywhere ahead

Everywhere behind

Every turn I take

You're right around the bend

It's like your ghost is chasing me

When I'm awake

When I'm asleep

There's a part of you in every part of me

And I can't outrun you

I can't outrun you

Now I've had chances with a girl or two

But all I ever saw was you

Holdin' my hand

Kissin' my face

I guess some pictures never fade

You're in my heart

You're in my mind

Everywhere ahead

Everywhere behind

Every turn I take

You're right around the bend

It's like your ghost is chasing me

When I'm awake

When I'm asleep

There's a part of you

In every part of me

I can't outrun you. No.

I can't outrun you. No.

I can't outrun

Thought there might just come a time

Wouldn't regret tellin' you goodbye

But lookin' back

Should'a realized

I can't outrun you

I can't outrun you

I can't outrun you
