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)
