I have just started listening to Trace Adkins because of this song. I like the concept of “not being able to outrun” someone you care about. While the lyric is unique, I suspect it strikes a chord in most all of us who have moved beyond a relationship. Easy to listen to, meaningful ballad that is thoughtfully written that deserves good radio play time.

I agree with the reviewer in that some of Trace’s best songs are overlooked by radio because they claim that they know what we want to hear, (although no one has ever asked me). I think he is reluctant to put this out as a single (which I think is a huge mistake) because the label thinks it won’t sell? I really believe this song is The BEST he has ever done bar none and it WOULD do well because everyone, I don’t care who you are, has been in that place in this song. I can’t outrun you, breathes new life into that relentless pain of heartache which even if we are long past it, we are never really over it and sometimes it does us good to revisit it.

Never been a fan of Adkins, and this tune hasn’t changed my mind.

Fantastic song. Trace’s version pulls out even more emotion than the demo I heard on Myspace on one of the songwriter’s pages.

Pardon me !! As a long time fan of Mr Adkins let me remind the columnist here that Mr Adkins career was on the fast track for many years before the Celeb Apprentice. Yes I am sure that more people became aware of him from that show that before that might have said “Trace WHO?” but that song was a great one and the true fans of Mr Adkins from many years ago didnt need the Celeb Apprentice to boost him in our minds

So does this mean they pulled support of “Muddy Water”? If that’s the case then I’m a little sad as I was hoping it would climb a little higher.

Yes, I agree, the lyrics really are nothing special. His performance really makes up for that lack though.

Trace once again shows is quality voice in another wonderful, deep, moving song. I can relate to this song & it gave me chills. Well done.

Just looking at the lyrics, the song doesn’t seem like anything special… but the piano and Adkin’s voice gave me goosebumps. WOW.
