🎸 Verse 1:

 E MajorE
People only stop here because they're passing through
    BB              A augmentedA          E MajorE
And I ring 'em up for diesel, cigarettes and Mountain Dew
     E MajorE
They're headed on to Dallas or Memphis, Tennessee
   BB                  A augmentedA         E MajorE
I've never been past Little Rock and I'm damn near thirty-three

     C# minorC#m            A augmentedA       E MajorE
I'm gonna tell my boss he's fired, burn my unpaid bills
    C# minorC#m                 A augmentedA      E MajorE
And if folks ask when I'm comin' back, promise I never will
   E MajorE
I'm droppin' off my name tag, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
    BB       A augmentedA     E MajorE
As I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas

E MajorE
All my friends are married and some in the county pen
  BB                  A augmentedA        E MajorE
I knew that weren't the life for me way back when I was ten
  E MajorE
I'm only takin' what'll fit in my old duffel bag
  BB                  A augmentedA        E MajorE
And I won't take a second look at that boarded-up main drag


C# minorC#m             A augmentedA       E MajorE
Send my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
     C# minorC#m           A augmentedA       BB
It don't matter where I'm headed, only that I'm goin'
  E MajorE
I don't care if you miss me, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
    BB       A augmentedA     E MajorE
As I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas

There's endless miles of highway and I wanna see 'em all
   BB              A augmentedA       E MajorE
From Wichita to Birmingham, from Reno to Saint Paul
  E MajorE
I won't slow down to catch my breath 'til I reach that leavin' sign

And every inch of Arkansas is facin' my behind
