"Never Get Away From Me (For Waylon And Jessi)" lyrics - TRAVIS TRITT

I was a real Casanova in my hometown
Never really thought about settlin' down
That is, until you came around
Yeah it's been a few years
But I remember it well
I was a rowdy no-gooder
You were hotter than hell
I spent all my time
Hot on your trail

[Chorus:]
You could've run to the mountains
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
I knew from the start
I couldn't let you get away from me

Well your mama and your daddy
They didn't approve
They told me I was trash
And I was born to lose
But that didn't faze me
I was gonna have you
So I begged and I pleaded
Something I'd never done
As sure as tomorrow has a rising sun
There was no mistake
Honey you were the one

[Chorus:]
You could've run to the mountains
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
But one thing's for sure
You would never get away from me

[Bridge:]
The sweetest things in life
Take you by surprise
Like the heaven I see looking in your eyes

Though you weren't sure how an outlaw's love could be
I made up my mind not to let you get away from me

[Instrumental break]

As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs
I think back on the good life that we have shared
And how our love has grown
Down through the years

So snuggle up to me baby, turn out the lights
There's nowhere on this earth
I'd rather be tonight
Than lying in your arms
Holdin' you tight
As time rolls by one thing's still clear to see
I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me

[Tag:]
Yeah yeah you could've run to the mountains
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
But I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
