Verse 1:
|
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
|
Chorus:
|
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 it's 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
|
|
Spoken over outro:
|
(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...)
|
