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

[Verse 3]
C
There's endless miles of highway and I wanna see 'em all
G F C
From Wichita to Birmingham, from Reno to Saint Paul
C
I won't slow down to catch my breath 'til I reach that leavin' sign
G F C
And every inch of Arkansas is facin' my behind
[Chorus]
Am F C
Send my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
Am F G
It don't matter where I'm headed, only that I'm goin'
C
I don't care if you miss me, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
G F C
As I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas
G F (C)
As I'm runnin' out of hope, Arkansas
