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 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




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, tToo 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
