terry melcher - arkansas lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
though the brambles took the cabin i was born in
briers reclaim the fields i used to plow
guide a yearning in my heart to be going
to that forty acre patch god sowed in sprouts

[chorus]
arkansas, are your rivers still flowing?
is your cotton growing white as snow?
are the squirrels still barking upon old crowley’s ridge?
has the girl i was sparking on gone and burned another bridge?
in arkansas

[verse 2]
now i know the troubles i was born to know
and i wanted things a man is born to want
but in all my dreams and memories, i’m running
through those fields of arkansas from which i stroll

[chorus]
arkansas, are your rivers still flowing?
is your cotton growing white as snow?
do the young men keep on piddling with those thoughts of growin’ rich
and slowly turn to old folks sittin’ whittling on a stick?
in arkansas
in arkansas
[instrumental break]

[outro]
do the young men keep on piddling with those thoughts of growin’ rich
and slowly turn to old folks sittin’ whittling on a stick?
in arkansas
