i had to leave my life in dallas
that town will always be you
and 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
now 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 the breaking down
is gonna get me off this road i’m on
but i’m still a far cry from gone
now 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
i’m a little past little rock
but a long way from over you
