You Can Run (but You Can't Hide) Songtext

von Joshua Carson

Raindrops on the windshield, Travis singin' country songs
I was on my way to somewhere down on highway 41
50 miles behind me got my wheels out of control
And I realized there are gonna be a hundred thousand more to go

I came across a funny guy sittin' on a fence
Sippin' on a Marlboro with a lighter in his hands
He said "I know where you're going, boy, 'cause I've been there before
But let me tell you something: I don't hit that road no more!"

CHORUS:
'Cause you can run but you can't hide
You can make a million bucks and still you won't be satisfied
I've been up and down this highway, I've been far away from home
And I finally found myself right where I started from

He said "You're no fool, boy, I know some may think you are"
And he handed me a book while I was stringin' my guitar
"Whenever you get off your way, whenever you're alone
Let that Bible in your hands take you where you belong"

CHORUS:
'Cause you can run but you can't hide...

BRIDGE:
Stop that, son! Don't talk to me like I don't know
When there's nowhere left to run there's only one place you can go
Something made me turn around, something I just can't discribe
I did 90 on the freeway when I finally realized

CHORUS:
You can run but you can't hide...

(repeat chorus)
