[Intro]
(Little by little)

[Verse 1]
I wonder if the road's worth taking
I wonder can a heart stop breaking
I wonder will my hands stop shaking
I wonder will I get there soon and
If there is a destination
I pray to God I'll find the patience
And in the end hope I'm not saying
"What have I done?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it was a trick of New Mexico light
Caught a glimpse of you in the corner of my eye
But there wasn't nothing on the passenger side
That wasn't behind me

[Chorus]
And little by little, babe
You'll forget me
Little by little, babe
And I'll regret this
Little by little, babe
Like I'm losing you
And I can see the proof
In the rearview
Little by little, babe
Goes little by little, babe
[Verse 2]
I stay between the lines on the pavement
Watch the colors in the sky as they're fading
It's like the mile marker signs have been waiting
For me to pass by

[Pre-Chorus]
It hit me in the night like a hammer to the heart
I packed what I could find in the back of my car
Watched the sun wipe out all the Arizona stars
And kept on driving

[Chorus]
And little by little, babe
You'll forget me
Little by little, babe
And I'll regret this
Little by little, babe
Like I'm losing you
And I can see the proof
In the rearview
Little by little, babe
It goes little by little, babe

[Guitar Interlude]
[Bridge]
It goes little by little, babe
Little by little, babe
Little by little, babe

[Chorus]
Little by little, babe
Yeah, you'll forget me
Little by little, babe
I'll regret this
Little by little, babe
Like I'm losing you
And I can see the proof
In the rearview
Little by little, babe
Goes little by little, babe

[Outro]
Maybe I'll call you on a Sunday
A couple summers later, maybe one day
Out of luck, out of love, out of highway
And I'll say, "What have I done?"
And you'll say
"It was little by little, babe
Well, I forgot you
Little by little, baby"
