Can't Outrun the Sun Lyrics

Boy sitting on his grandpa's knee

Grandpa thinks what's happened to me

I remember when I was just three

Now look at these hands

Look at these hands

Girl sitting on the front porch stair

Momma putting braids in her hair

Momma's face is wrinkled with care

This old beauty queen

Has grown sad and mean

You can't outrun the sun

You can't outrun the sun

You can't outrun the sun

You can't outrun the sun

We're all sitting still as time goes by

With pretty pictures we've saved in our minds

The day is over and here comes the night

The lights will go down

On this river town

You can't outrun the sun

You can't outrun the sun

You can't outrun the sun

You can't outrun the sun
