Never Get Away From Me - For Waylon and Jessi

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
 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
