Verse 1:

           D
I had to leave my life in Dallas
                          G
That town will always be you
           D
In every crowd, on every corner
                       G
In every face I'd see you
          D
So with nothin' more than a tank of gas
    D
I drove away without lookin' back
        G                                    
And I guess that's how I got where I am
    D/F#    Em                   A
And goin' anywhere as fast as I can


Chorus:

            G
And I'm a little past Little Rock
G
Further down the line
      D
Too soon to know what's up ahead
     D
Too late to change my mind
         G
I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel
      A
I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels
        G
It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue
            Bm                        G
Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do
       D
I'm a little past Little Rock
       A
But a long way from over you


Instrumental:

D   G   


Verse 2:

        D
These headlights on the highway
                    G
Disappear into the dark
       D
And if I could have my way
                          G
I'd go back to where you are
        D
Oh, but I can't turn this thing around
      D
And nothing short of breaking down
          G                                       
Is gonna get me off this road I'm on
D/F#         Em                   A
Oh, and I'm still a far cry from gone


[Repeat Chorus]
