[Verse 1]
EPeople only stop here because they're passing through
B A EAnd I ring 'em up for diesel, cigarettes and Mountain Dew
EThey're headed on to Dallas or Memphis, Tennessee
B A EI've never been past Little Rock and I'm damn near thirty-three
[Chorus]
C#m A EI'm gonna tell my boss he's fired, burn my unpaid bills
C#m A EAnd if folks ask when I'm comin' back, promise I never will
EI'm droppin' off my name tag, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
B A EAs I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas
[Verse 2]
EAll my friends are married and some in the county pen
B A EI knew that weren't the life for me way back when I was ten
EI'm only takin' what'll fit in my old duffel bag
B A EAnd I won't take a second look at that boarded-up main drag
[Chorus]
C#m A ESend my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
C#m A BIt don't matter where I'm headed, only that I'm goin'
EI don't care if you miss me, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
B A EAs I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas

[Verse 3]
EThere's endless miles of highway and I wanna see 'em all
B A EFrom Wichita to Birmingham, from Reno to Saint Paul
EI won't slow down to catch my breath 'til I reach that leavin' sign
B A EAnd every inch of Arkansas is facin' my behind
[Chorus]
C#m A ESend my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
C#m A BIt don't matter where I'm headed, only that I'm goin'
EI don't care if you miss me, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
B A EAs I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas
B A (E)As I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas
