Arkansas

Arkansas, land of opportunity

Arkansas, oh, what you do to me

Prettiest place I ever saw

Was back home in Arkansas



All those boyhood memories

Lakes and rivers and Backwood trees

Gentle mountains, it reached to the sky

Oh, how I hated to say goodbye to



Arkansas, land of opportunity

Arkansas, oh, what you do to me

Prettiest place I ever saw

Was back home in Arkansas



Dirt roads that lead nowhere

Except the houses that need repairing

And front porch people wearing a smile

And they cover every mile of



Arkansas, land of opportunity

Arkansas, oh, what you do to me

Prettiest place I ever saw

Was back home in Arkansas



I can see my Dad back home

Working Park County, sandy lawn

Mama callin' me from the door

Oh, how I wanna go once more to



Arkansas, land of opportunity

Arkansas, oh, what you do to me

Prettiest place I ever saw

Was back home in Arkansas



Arkansas, land of opportunity

Arkansas, oh, what you do to me

Prettiest place I ever saw

Was back home in Arkansas
