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
