A Little Past Little Rock (Album Version)

(jess brown/tony lane/brett jones)

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
