Little Rock

Wake up in the morning long and lean

Stoppin’ at the corner cigarettes and gasoline

Pullin’ down Main Street shiftin’ through gears

Rollin’ up that highway they been working on for years

One eye on the sunrise, one eye on the clock

Come tomorrow morning I’m gonna make it back to Little Rock

I searched through L.A. County the valleys and the stars

Del Rio to the bayou all them honky-tonks and bars

I felt you in Seattle driving through the rain

Dan through New York City just a callin’ out your name

After all these years of searchin’ I finally found my spot

One way or another, Lord, I’m gonna make it down to Little Rock

All my life I tried to find

A piece of this Earth for my peace of mind

All these years of searchin’ let my troubles disappear

Maybe find a place where we can sit and drink a beer

Half a pack and seven hours put up on the shelf

Singing to the radio and talkin’ to myself

Screamin’ through the forest magic on my soul

Ninety miles an hour on the cruise control

Blowin’ by the truckers, the grandmas and the cops

“What’s your hurry son?” well it’s just that I’m on my way to Little Rock

Baby get ready trouble’s on its way

Only thinkin’ ‘bout you every night and every day

Tell all your other lovers forget about the past

Ain’t even gonna worry ‘cus this time it’s gonna last

I’m comin’ round the corner, ain’t even gonna knock

Hey pretty baby, here comes your daddy down to Little Rock

(Yeah, Little Rock! I’m goin’ to Little Rock

I may be the only one, but I’m goin’

I ain’t sleepin’ on the couch…)
