i asked the man when texas ended
he said if yer lucky it won’t
i said i gotta a gift i gotta get to fort smith
i was startin’ to lose all hope

the night was young when he pulled out a gun and the bullet jus’ missed my nose
i thought i was delivered when i crossed the big river
i thought i knew, but i jus’ didn’t know

i passed over the ozarks
and onto the ouachita’s
i skipped from poverty to poverty
fenced in in arkansas, arkansas…

i saw the soybean fields and the flat bed trucks
and i watched the concrete creep
subdivided shoutin’ on a black rock mountain
sayin’ this is how feels to be free

i read the billboard scripture
prophesying my d+mnation
reaching for his life, preachers on his third wife
out in branson on a big vacation

i passed over the ozarks
and onto the ouachita’s
i skipped from poverty to poverty
fenced in in arkansas, arkansas…
i saw a nuclear plant
homegrown
and i know it ain’t fake cause they grew it in a lake
that they built jus’ to cool it’s bones

and they handed out a lotta badges
and made a lotta energy
that they fired in a wire across state lines
while the state slurped up the fee

and there’s hardly a place that meth ain’t
planted a dead white kiss
you can smell it in the air you can see it in a chair
itsa’ pretty d+mn hard to miss

i saw a law officer shrug his whole body
resign to an american god
said if they wanted to, they’d would help themselves
and he put away his bible and he got out a gun

i passed over the ozarks
and onto the ouachita’s
i skipped from poverty to poverty
fenced in in arkansas, arkansas…

if god lives up in the rocky’s
if that’s where the big man meddles
then a lesser being of a lower degree
musta’ come down here and settled
i met revelators and archimandrites
the big and the belittled
i reckon all in time, deep in my mind
we’re gonna meet in the middle

i passed over the ozarks
and onto the ouachita’s
i skipped from poverty to poverty
fenced in in arkansas, arkansas…

i can’t tell ya where one thing ended and another
did occur
it was new and it was old to me
it was more than i could observe
if what is seen is for the taking
and the taking can be seen
i’m gonna need your help with the calculations
i can’t tell ya what it all could mean

i passed over the ozarks
and onto the ouachita’s
i skipped from poverty to poverty
fenced in in arkansas, arkansas…
