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
