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
