Little Rock

"Little Rock" is a song written by Pat McManus, Bob DiPiero and Gerry House, and recorded by American country music artist Reba McEntire. It released in June 1986 as the second single from the album Whoever's in New England. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in late 1986. Background "Little Rock" was recorded at the MCA studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The song itself is not to be confused with either the capital of Arkansas or the Collin Raye song, both of which have the same name. Content The song is about a woman who marries a wealthy man and is at first enamored at the prospect of living a wealthy lifestyle and "having all the finer things". But she soon grows tired of not being truly loved by her husband. The song's chorus further describes its storyline: Oh little rock, think I'm gonna have to slip you off Take a chance tonight and untie the knot There's more to life than what I got Oh little rock you know this heart of mine just can't be bought I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot, when I slip off this little rock
