I Can't Get Away Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I've been runnin' from life 

I keep runnin' from life 

Hey, I'm still runnin' from life 

But I can't get away 

I'd settle down if I could 

'Cause there's one thing well understood 

We all know run is no good 

We can't get away 

I'd run my thoughts in a glass 

Take any way up for a blast 

Hey, to tried to get rid of the past 

But I can't get away 

There's no way out of it all 

And I've got no use for it all 

Yes, I will run till I fall 

I can't get away 

Everyone wants to be free 

We always want to be free 

But life won't let us be free 

We can't get away 

So I'll keep runnin' from life 

Hey, always runnin' from life 

I'd still keep runnin' from life 

I can't get away 

I'm runnin' from life 

I'm always runnin' from life 

I'm still runnin' from life 

And I can't get away
