People only stop here because they’re passing through
And I ring ’em up for diesel, cigarettes and Mountain Dew
They’re headed on to Dallas or Memphis, Tennessee
I’ve never been past Little Rock and I’m damn near thirty-three
I’m gonna tell my boss he’s fired, burn my unpaid bills
And if folks ask when I’m comin’ back, promise I never will
I’m droppin’ off my name tag, I’m gonna hug my ma and pa
As I’m runnin’ out of Hope, Arkansas
All my friends are married and some in the county pen
I knew that wеren’t the life for mе way back when I was ten
I’m only takin’ what’ll fit in my old duffel bag
And I won’t take a second look at that boarded-up main drag
Send my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
It don’t matter where I’m headed, only that I’m goin’
I don’t care if you miss me, I’m gonna hug my ma and pa
As I’m runnin’ out of Hope, Arkansas
There’s endless miles of highway and I wanna see ’em all
From Wichita to Birmingham, from Reno to Saint Paul
I won’t slow down to catch my breath ’til I reach that leavin’ sign
And every inch of Arkansas is facin’ my behind
Send my mail to nowhere and disconnect my phone
It don’t matter where I’m headed, only that I’m goin’
I don’t care if you miss me, I’m gonna hug my ma and pa
As I’m runnin’ out of Hope, Arkansas
As I’m runnin’ out of Hope, Arkansas
