I can hear the highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually good-bye
And yet those words I just cant find as hold her
She`s like no other woman
That I have ever known before
And it Ain`t me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Why ain`t I running, why ain`t I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she`s stronger than strong
Something`s not right if there ain`t nothing wrong
It`s got me wondering, why ain`t I running
Why ain`t I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
The would never recognize me for all that she`s done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that I`m alone
Why ain`t I running, why ain`t I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she`s stronger than strong
Something`s not right if there ain`t nothing wrong
It`s got me wondering, why ain`t I running
Why ain`t I gone
No, they`ve never built a wall this high
Or made a chain that strong
And God ain`t never made a place
I felt like I belong
Why ain`t I running, why ain`t I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she`s stronger than strong
Something`s not right if there ain`t nothing wrong
It`s got me wondering, why ain`t I running
Why ain`t I gone
