Wonder What Trace Was Thinking to Give it Such a Haunting Quality When He Recorded "I Can't Outrun You"?

Another fan pulled this from an answer he gave to CMT:
The new single, "I Can't Outrun You," is very haunting, and I know a lot of people will be able to relate because it talks about not being able to outrun that past love. It's always there -- the ghost.
Trace says ... Right. I made a statement one time at the very beginning of my career, and I said that when I sing a song about heartache, I'm not singing about somebody giving back my senior ring. I'm talking about it from the most devastating, serious point of view. I've been through just a horrendous divorce [from his first wife], and I can say this without fear of upsetting my [current] wife. She knows I love her, and everything's cool. But when my first wife and I got divorced, I was devastated. I mean, I was heartbroken. I mean totally, and I didn't ever think I'd get past it, really. I mean, there were days when I didn't think I was simply going to live through that heartache. It manifested itself into physical pain. I could feel it. It hurt that bad, and I just couldn't get away from it. So when I recorded this song, I just went back there in my head and what that felt like. That's where this song comes from.
