I was a real Casanova in my home town
Never really thought about settlin' down
That is until you came around

Yeah, it's been a few years but I remember it well
I was a rowdy no-gooder, you were hotter than hell
I spent all my time hot on your trail

You could've run to the mountains
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
I knew from the start
I couldn't let you get away from me

Well, your mama and your daddy, they didn't approve
They told me I was trash and I was born to lose
But that didn't faze me, I was gonna have you

So, I begged and I pleaded something I'd never done
As sure as tomorrow has a rising sun
There was no mistake, honey, you were the one

You could've run to the mountains
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea

You would never get away from me

The sweetest things in life take you by surprise
Like the heaven I see lookin' in your eyes
Though you weren't sure how an outlaw's love could be
I made up my mind not to let you get away from me

As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs
I think back on the good life that we have shared
And how our love has grown down through the years

So snuggle up to me baby, turn out the lights
There's nowhere on this earth I'd rather be tonight
Than lying in your arms, holdin' you tight

As time rolls by one thing's still clear to see
I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
Yeah, yeah

You could've run to the mountains
Could've sailed across the deep blue sea
But I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
