- Garth Brooks - "Why Ain't I Running"
(Tony Arata, Kent Blazy and Garth Brooks)
I can hear that highway callin',
As I watch the sunrise crawlin' across her shoulder.
This is usually goodbye,
An' yet those words I just can't find as I hold her.
Oh, 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.
Why ain't I runnin'?
Why ain't I gone?
An' 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 worlds I left behind me,
Praying they would never find me in my freedom.
But if they stood right here beside me,
They would never recognize me for all that she's done.
Oh, 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 runnin'?
Why ain't I gone?
An' 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 that high,
Or made a chain that strong.
And God ain't never made a place,
I felt like I belong.
Why ain't I runnin'?
Why ain't I gone?
An' 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?
