Never Get Away From Me (for Waylon And Jessi) Lyrics - Travis Tritt

I was a real Casanova in my home town 

Never really thought about settlin' down 

That is until you came around 

Yeah, it's been a few years but I remember it well 

I was a rowdy no-gooder, you were hotter than hell 

I spent all my time hot on your trail 

You could've run to the mountains 

Cou've sailed across the deep blue sea 

I knew from the start 

I couldn't let you get away from me 

Well, your mama and your daddy, they didn't approve 

They told me I was trash and I was born to lose 

But that didn't faze me, I was gonna have you 

So, I begged and I pleaded something I'd never done 

As sure as tomorrow has a rising sun 

There was no mistake, honey, you were the one

You could've run to the mountains 

Could've sailed across the deep blue sea 

But one thing's for sure 

You would never get away from me 

The sweetest things in life take you by surprise 

Like the heaven I see lookin' in your eyes 

Though you weren't sure how an outlaw's love would be 

I made up my mind not to let you get away from me 

(Break) 

As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs 

I think back on the good life that we have shared 

And how our love has grown down through the years 

So snuggle up to me baby, turn out the lights 

There's nowhere on this earth I'd rather be tonight 

Than lying in your arms holdin' you tight 

Photos 

As time rolls by one thing's still clear to see 

I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me 

Yeah, yeah you could've run to the mountains 

Could've sailed across the deep blue sea 

But I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
