A Little Past Little Rock Songtext
von Lee Ann Womack with Jason Sellers

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
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've got to 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 it 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
I′m a little past Little Rock
But a long way from over you
