Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
I've C tried and tried to run and hide
To find a C7 life that's G7 new
But C where I go, I F always C know
I can't es-G7 cape from C you.
A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I can't escape from you.
These wasted tears are souvenirs
Of a love I thought was true
Your memory is chained to me
I can't escape from you.
There is no end, I can't pretend
That dreams will soon come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
I can't escape from you.
