(Travis Tritt/Bob Dipiero/Dennis Robbins)



I was a real Casanova in my home town

Never really thought about settling 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 through the mountains

Could've sailed across the deep blue sea

I knew from the start

Couldn't let you get away from me



Well your mama and your daddy

They didn't approve

They told you me 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

And sure as tomorrow has a rising sun

There was no mistake

Honey, you were the one



You could've run through 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 looking 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 (End of Bridge)



As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs

I think back on the good times 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 no where on this earth I'd rather be tonight

Then lying in your arms

Holding you tight

As time roll's by one thing's still plain to see

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



Yeah, yeah you could've run through the mountains

Could've sailed across the deep blue sea

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