Rick Treviño – Running Out Of Reasons To Run

“Running Out of Reasons to Run” is a song written by George Teren and Bob Regan, and recorded by American country music artist Rick Trevino. It was released in October 1996 as the second single from his CD Learning as You Go. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, his only Number One on that chart. The song’s B-side, “See Rock City”, later served as the album’s fourth single.

On the Spanish-language version of Trevino’s album (titled Mi Vida Eres Tú), the song was translated into Spanish as “Se Escapan Mis Razones”, with translation by Manny Benito.

Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably saying that steel guitar and piano “weave their way appealingly through the melody.” He goes on to call Trevino’s vocal performance, “convincing.

Rick Treviño – Running Out Of Reasons To Run Lyrics

There’s a long stretch of black top
Underneath a cloudless sky
There’s my truck washed and gassed up
Just itchin’ for a ride
If this had been 6 months ago
I know what I’d have done
But Girl, I’m running out of reasons to run

I’m running out of reasons
I’ve lost that restless feeling
Slowly I’m believing
I’m where I’m supposed to be
When you hold me, I feel no need
To chase that setting sun
I’m runnin’ out of reasons to run

There you stand smiling at me
Sun light shinin’ through your hair
There’s that door standing open
With no rush to go no where
I’m finding all I’ve searched for
In this love that we’ve begun
And Girl I’m running out of reasons to run

I’m running out of reasons
I’ve lost that restless feeling
Slowly I’m believing
I’m where I’m supposed to be
When you hold me, I feel no need
To chase that setting sun
I’m runnin’ out of reasons to run
I’m running out of reasons
I’ve lost that restless feeling
Slowly I’m believing
I’m where I’m supposed to be
When you hold me, I feel no need
To chase that setting sun
I’m runnin’ out of reasons to run
