Intro: E A E A
E
I had to leave my life in Dallas
A
That town will always be you
E
In every crowd, on every corner
A
In every face I'd see you
E
So with nothin' more than a tank of gas
E
I drove away without lookin' back
A
And I guess that's how I got where I am
F#m B
And goin' anywhere as fast as I can
CHORUS
A
And I'm a little past Little Rock
A
Further down the line
E
Too soon to know what's up ahead
E
Too late to change my mind
A
I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel
B
I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels
A
It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue
C#m A
Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do
E
I'm a little past Little Rock
B
But a long way from over you
E
These headlights on the highway
A
Disappear into the dark
E
And if I could have my way
A
I'd go back to where you are
E (tacet)
Oh, but I can't turn this thing around
E
And nothing short of breaking down
A
Is gonna get me off this road I'm on
F#m B
Oh, and I'm still a far cry from gone
(Repeat chorus)
