A Little Past Little 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 nothing more than a tank of gas I drove away without looking back And I guess that's how I got where I am Going anywhere as fast as I can 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've got to keep my heart out of this And both hands on the wheel I'm learning more with every mile Just how leaving 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 it 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 But I'm still a far cry from gone But I'm a little past Little Rock Further down the line
