Baby I couldn't hide no matter how hard I tried
Was foolish to have begun to believe I'd ever outrun
And honey I had no call to try and escape at all
Cause by the time I got free love caught up to me

Baby I used to have ways to avoid anyplace
That even had half the chance to cut in on my dance
Yeah my cool heart hung around only if it couldn't be found
But showed up permanently when love caught up to me

The fascinations of each lie I told myself were reasons why
The feeble boast I made alone sound faded worn and all outgrown
[ guitar + steel ]
Hey I could never afford honey all it would cost
To replace what you do if it ever got lost
But baby I'd beg and steal just to keep how I feel
A way I never did need till love caught up to me

The fascinations of each lie...
Baby I couldn't hide...
Yeah by the time I got free love caught up to me
