recording of 1976

I've been chasin' after you babe 
It seem like a mighty long time 
Oh, I think I'm about to reach 
Reach the end of my line 
Oh, the more I think of you baby 
The further from me you get, it seems 
Oh, I guess I'm never gonna catch you, baby 
'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam 
Aww, 
The first time I saw you girl 
It marked the beginnin' of my chase 
I've been runnin' after you ever since 
And I haven't got any place 
Oh, the more I chase you baby 
The further from me you get it seems 
Oh, I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl 
'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam 
Even though I really love you girl 
Chasin' you is just like chasin' the devil 
The harder I run, the more ya have fun 
Now I know you wouldn't care if it lasts forever 
'Cause the more I chase ya baby 
The further from me you get it seems 
I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl 
'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam 
Oh!
