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
