I Can't Escape From You

About I Can't Escape From You

"I Can't Escape from You" is a song written by Hank Williams. The song was originally recorded as a demo by Williams probably in 1951 but he never recorded it in a studio with a band. MGM released an overdubbed version in 1953 with backing from the Drifting Cowboys. The song contains the bitter testimony of a man haunted by the memory of a woman who has "a heart of stone." Like many of the demos that feature just Williams and his guitar, the original performance is artlessly affecting and displays his spare, haunting lyrics: 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 youThese wasted tears are souvenirs Of a love I thought was true Your memory is chained to me I can't escape from you

I've tried and tried to run and hide
To find a life that's new
But where I go, I always know
I can't escape from 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.
