Running out of Hope, Arkansas Lyrics by Brennen Leigh
Brennen Leigh Lyrics
[Verse 1]
People only stop here because they're passing through
And I ring 'em up for diesel, cigarettes and Mountain Dew
They're headed on to Dallas or Memphis, Tennessee
I've never been past Little Rock and I'm damn near thirty-three
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna tell my boss he's fired, burn my unpaid bills
And if folks ask when I'm comin' back, promise I never will
I'm droppin' off my name tag, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
As I'm runnin' out of Hope, Arkansas
[Verse 3]
All my friends are married and some in the county pen
I knew that wеren't the life for mе way back when I was ten
I'm only takin' what'll fit in my old duffel bag
And I won't take a second look at that boarded-up main drag
[Chorus]
Send my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
It don't matter where I'm headed, only that I'm goin'
I don't care if you miss me, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
As I'm runnin' out of Hope, Arkansas
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 4]
There's endless miles of highway and I wanna see 'em all
From Wichita to Birmingham, from Reno to Saint Paul
I won't slow down to catch my breath 'til I reach that leavin' sign
And every inch of Arkansas is facin' my behind
[Chorus]
Send my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
It don't matter where I'm headed, only that I'm goin'
I don't care if you miss me, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
As I'm runnin' out of Hope, Arkansas
[Outro]
As I'm runnin' out of Hope, Arkansas
