Little Rock
He was headed out west on 40
Hell bent to leave it behind
He stopped to take one more look around
At the Arkansas state line
She was finally ready to get out
All she needed was a Ride
And when he pulled in to that Memphis truck stop
She knew that it was time
She said I don't need diamonds or pearls
You know I've never been that kind of girl
Can you hear it it's never gonna stop
Can you hear the ticking clock
Don't know why you're running
And I've no room to talk
Can you take me as far
As far as little rock
They spent the next 6 months laughing
Walking hand in hand
Both of them finding something
The other one never had
She said I don't need diamonds or pearls
You know I've never been that kind of girl
Can you hear it it's never gonna stop
Can you hear the ticking clock
Don't know why you're running
And I've no room to talk
Can you take me as far
As far as little rock
Love came and went by oh so fast
As he left her there with just a glance
He said you deserve diamonds and pearls
To get to be that kind of girl
Can you hear it it's never gonna stop
Can you hear the ticking clock
Now you're done running
But girl you know I just can't stop
And he walked out the door
He left Little Rock
Hell bent to leave it behind
He stopped to take one more look around
At the Arkansas state line
She was finally ready to get out
All she needed was a Ride
And when he pulled in to that Memphis truck stop
She knew that it was time
She said I don't need diamonds or pearls
You know I've never been that kind of girl
Can you hear it it's never gonna stop
Can you hear the ticking clock
Don't know why you're running
And I've no room to talk
Can you take me as far
As far as little rock
They spent the next 6 months laughing
Walking hand in hand
Both of them finding something
The other one never had
She said I don't need diamonds or pearls
You know I've never been that kind of girl
Can you hear it it's never gonna stop
Can you hear the ticking clock
Don't know why you're running
And I've no room to talk
Can you take me as far
As far as little rock
Love came and went by oh so fast
As he left her there with just a glance
He said you deserve diamonds and pearls
To get to be that kind of girl
Can you hear it it's never gonna stop
Can you hear the ticking clock
Now you're done running
But girl you know I just can't stop
And he walked out the door
He left Little Rock
