(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
(Bridge)
The fascinations of each lie
I told myself were reasons why
The feeble boast I made alone
Sound faded, worn and all outgrown
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
Baby, I couldn`t hide
No matter how hard I tried
Was foolish to have begin
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
