Hayes Carll - Little Rock lyrics

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 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 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…)
