Why Ain't I Running - Garth Brooks Lyrics
Why Ain't I Running
As I watch the sunrise crawling 'cross her shoulder
That this is usually good-bye
And yet those words I just cant find here as I hold her
Oh she's like no other woman
That I have ever known before
And it ain't me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
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 and my freedom
Cause if they stood right here beside me
The 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 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 when there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
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 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 when there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
Why ain't I gone
