I took a jet, had to leave, so I left, bought a car that was fast Trying to get past her love I can run, I can hide, I can drive, I can fly But so far, it ain't far enough There's a message on my cell phone I can't erase It's her and the sound of her voice that takes me back Across seven states I guess the heart of the matter Is I just can't forget her She's like a ghost that haunts me everywhere I go See her face on a Billboard sign See her name in the stars at night She's that shadow in my dreams always chasing me I can't outrun her memory I took it east, took it west to the beach where I sat in the sand Ran as far as the waves Another town another crowd, it's quiet when it's loud But still her voice calls my name Even if I was moving at the speed of light, I couldn't get away Somehow I gotta face the fact that when I look back It's hard to look away I guess the heart of the matter Is I just can't forget her She's like a ghost that haunts me everywhere I go See her face on a Billboard sign See her name in the stars at night She's that shadow in my dreams always chasing me I can't outrun her memory Her memory's beating in my heart like a drum I can't turn off She's where I start, where I end, she's back again And she won't stop I can't outrun her memory I can't outrun her memory I can't outrun her memory I can't outrun her I can't outrun her I can't outrun her memory I can't outrun her memory
