Goin Far on Little (Just a Little Too Long)

Well, just another night doing wrong without you
Just another night singing songs about you
Burning up my heels and lighting up a song
Goin' far on little just a little too long
Well, the sun’s coming up and my eyes are peeled
On a stretch of road straighter than I keep the wheel
My heart made a u-turn a few years back
But my head said, «Why turn? You never look back»
Drove a hundred thousand miles, never looked under a hood
When I finally did I found a rabbit’s foot
Two crossed fingers and an old horseshoe
And a book full of songs about missing you
Well, just another night doing wrong without you
Just another night singing songs about you
Burning up my heels, lighting up a song
Goin' far on little just a little too long
I passed a cliche lizard on the side of the road
Now I’m feeling like a lizard when my blood runs cold
At the thought of sleeping all alone tonight
For nine days, six lanes, and eleven state lines
Having too much fun, too much boozin'
Only drink hard liquor if you’re payin' or I’m losin'
But I’m losing my mind nearly every single day
'Cause we’re making good time and we’re getting no pay
Well, just another night doing wrong without you
Just another night singing songs about you
Burning up my heels, lighting up a song
Goin' far on little just a little too long
Armadillo, ocotillo, and a prickly pear
I spent half the day with a dumb blank stare
And the other half hurrying to nowhere
Now I can’t hear the fiddle but the techie don’t care
Well, I’m yawning like a pup at the rising sun
At the edge of a cliff with a hitcher’s thumb
Stars in my eyes even when they don’t shine
And a heart that’s harder than a bristlecone pine
Well, just another night doing wrong without you
Just another night singing songs about you
Burning up my heels, lighting up a song
Goin' far on little just a little too long
Well, just another night doing wrong without you
Just another night singing songs about you
Burning up my heels, lighting up my song
Goin' far on little just a little too long
Goin' far on little just a little too long
