Arkansas Lyrics

Arkansas, land of opportunity
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas
Oh, those boyhood memories
Lakes and rivers and blackwood trees
Gentle mountains that reach 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 to houses that need repair
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 Pike County sand below
Mama calling me from the door
Oh, how I long to 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

Oh, Arkansas
