I Can't Outrun You Lyrics

Ninety five down the interstate
Mile high on a jet plane
A desert road or a downtown train
It's all the same, I Can't Outrun You

I can move to another town
Where nobody'd ask where you are now
L.A. or Mexico
No matter where I go, I can't outrun you

You're in my heart, you're in my mind
Everywhere ahead, everywhere behind
Every turn I take,
You're right around the bend

It's like your ghost is chasing me
When I'm awake, when I'm asleep
There's a part of you in every part of me
And I can't outrun you
I can't outrun you

I had a chance with a boy or two
But all I ever saw was you
You're holding my hand, kissing my face
I guess some memories never fade

You're in my heart, you're in my mind
Everywhere ahead, everywhere behind
Every turn I take,
You're right around the bend

It's like your ghost is chasing me
When I'm awake, when I'm asleep
There's a part of you in every part of me
And I can't outrun you
I can't outrun you

Whoa, whoa

I thought there just might come a time
I wouldn't regret telling you goodbye
If there was I'll never know
No matter where I go I can't outrun you

I Can't Outrun You

This song was inspired by a real-life heartbreaking situation for songwriter Kyle Jacobs, who penned the tune with Joe Leathers and Ben Glover.

Jacobs and Leathers were on Keifer and Shawna Thompson's bus one night and asked if they could play the married pair in the song. "It wasn't really a pitch," Keifer explained to Radio.com . "They played it for us, and we just loved it and got talking about it and if we should get to recording. The label was on board with it and loved it and everybody else, too."

Despite being happily married, Shawna said the pair could both relate to the heartbreaking situation portrayed in the song. "It's so real. We knew the story because Kyle told us the back story of the song," she said. "Even without the back story it's just a heart-wrenching song. We've been through breakups before, and we know that horrible feeling when you're trying to get over somebody because you know it's not going to work."

The song was originally written from a guy's perspective, but once the Thompsons got into the studio they decided to make it a duet. "We started playing around with it and turned it into a duet," Shawna said, "which is interesting, coming from two different perspectives."
