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
