A little past Little Rock (video) (midi)

D - G - D - G

D G

1. I had to leave my life in Dallas, that town will always be you,

D G

in every crowd, on every corner, 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,

Em A

and goin' anywhere as fast as I can.

G

And I'm a little past Little Rock, further down the line,

D

too soon to know what's up ahead, too late to change my mind.

G

I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel,

A A7

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 A D

I'm a little past Little Rock, but a long way from over you.

+ D - G

D G

2. These headlights on the highway disappear into the dark,

D G

and if I could have my way, 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.

Em A

Oh, and I'm still a far cry from gone.

+ CHORUS + G

D A D

+ I'm a little past Little Rock, but a long way from over you.

+ D - G - D - G (2x) ....
