I can hear that highway calling
  As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
  This is usually goodbye
  And yet those words I just can't find here as I hold her
  
  She's like no other woman
  That I have known before
  And it ain't me to see the morning sun
  From this side of the door
  
  Chorus:
  
  WHY AIN'T I RUNNING, WHY AIN'T I GONE
  HOW DOES SHE HOLD ME WITHOUT HOLDING ON
  IN LOVE OR A FIGHTM 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 words I left behind me
  Praying they would never find me and my freedom
  But if they stood right here beside me
  They would never recognize me for all that she's done
  
  Once happiness was only
  Whenever I was on my own
  So now why do I feel lonely
  Any time that I'm alone
  
  Repeat Chorus
  
  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
  
  Repeat Chorus
