Recorded by hank williamssr. Words and music by hank williamssr. I've [c] tried and tried to run and hide To find a [c7] life that's [g7] new But [c] where I goI [f] always [c] know I can't es-[g7] cape from [c] you. A jug of wine to numb my mind But what good does it do The jug runs dry and still I cry I can't escape from you. These wasted tears are souvenirs Of a love I thought was true Your memory is chained to me I can't escape from you. There is no endI can't pretend That dreams will soon come true A slave too long to a heart of stone I can't escape from you.
