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 gona?



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 recognise 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



[Repeat chorus]



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



[Repeat chorus]
