Why Ain't I Running

[Verse 1]

I can hear

That highway calling

As I watch the sunrise

Crawling across her shoulder

This is usually goodbye

And yet those words

I just can't find here

As I hold her

She's like no other woman

That I have known before

And it ain't me to

See the morning sun

From this side of the door

[Chorus]

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 gonna?

[Verse 2]

All those words

I left behind me

Praying they would never

Find me and my freedom

But if they stood

Right here beside me

They would never recognize me

For all that she's done

[Bridge]

Once happiness was only

Whenever I was on my own

So now why do I feel lonely

Any time that I'm alone

[Chorus]

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 gonna?

[Verse 3]

No, they've never built

A wall that high

Or made a chain that strong

And God ain't never

Made a place

I felt like I belong

[Chorus]

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 gonna?
