B
I had to leave my life in Dallas
E
That town will always be you
B
In every crowd, on every corner
E
In every face I'd see you
B
So with nothin' more than a tank of gas
B
I drove away without lookin' back
E
And I guess that's how I got where I am
C#m GbMaj
goin' anywhere as fast as I can
CHORUS
E
And I'm a little past Little Rock
E
Further down the line
B
Too soon to know what's up ahead
B
Too late to change my mind
E
I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel
GbMaj Gb7
I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels
E
It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue
G#m E
Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do
B
I'm a little past Little Rock
GbMaj B
But a long way from over you

B
These headlights on the highway
E
Disappear into the dark
B
And if I could have it my way
E
I'd go back to where you are
B (tacet)
Oh, but I can't turn this thing around
B
And nothing short of breaking down
E
Is gonna get me off this road I'm on
C#m GbMaj
Oh, and I'm still a far cry from gone
Chorus
E
And I'm a little past Little Rock
E
Further down the line
B
Too soon to know what's up ahead
B
Too late to change my mind
E
I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel
GbMaj Gb7
I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels
E
It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue
G#m E
Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do
B
I'm a little past Little Rock
GbMaj B E
But a long way from over you
B
I'm a little past Little Rock
GbMaj B E B E
But a long way from over you
