a little past litle rock

i had to leave my life in dallas

that town will always be you

in every crowd

on every corner

in every face i'd see you

so with nothin' more than a tank of gas

i drove away without lookin' back

and i guess that's how i got where i am

and goin' anywhere as fast as i can

and i'm a little past little rock

further down the line

too soon to know what's up ahead

too late to change my mind

i gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel

i'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels

it's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue

don't know where i'll go or what i'll do

i'm a little past little rock

but a long way from over you

these headlights on the highway

disappear into the dark

and if i could have my way

i'd go back to where you are

oh

but i can't turn this thing around

and nothing short of breaking down

is gonna get me off this road i'm on

oh

and i'm still a far cry from gone

and i'm a little past little rock

further down the line

too soon to know what's up ahead

too late to change my mind

i gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel

i'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels

it's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue

don't know where i'll go or what i'll do

i'm a little past little rock

but a long way from over you
