West of Arkansas

Stopped by for a little
Just to get a little hit
And then we talk about
The things we said
You've been calling my phone
You want me to come home
You don't want to sleep alone
In that bed
Well I've been trying
I just got to keep an eye out
Cuz I got onto the wrong side
Of a couple big men
Owed a couple dollars to em
But it's nothing when you're losing
Every hustle coming into
Your head

Oh
I'm on the wrong side
At the right time
It's gone take a second
To figure out
How I'm gonna get out of
This now
I'm a traveling man
I head wherever the cool wind blows
I got whatever clothes are on my back
And loyalty to the road
I sure do run my mouth
But it is always in good fun
And it only goes bad
When someones mad
And then my time round there
Is done

I headed north
Cuz a taller man told me
That it's only gonna go from
Bad to worse round here
Didn't give me any reason
But I really did believe him
So I packed up my two cents
And my beer
Hitchhiking
From the border
Of a pretty tall order
But I took a couple lefts
Somewhere
Couldn't tell you
Where I'm headed
But there's something
To be said about
All the energy in the air

Oh
I'm on the wrong side
At the right time
It's gone take a second
To figure out
How I'm gonna get out of
This now

Far away, a distant place
I know I'll always see your face
Now I'm tied up somewhere
West of Arkansas
Now and then I find my mind
Remembering the older times
For now babe
I'm West of Arkansas
Far away, a distant place
I know I'll always see your face
Now I'm tied up somewhere
West of Arkansas
Now and then I find my mind
Remembering the older times
For now babe
I'm West of Arkansas

(Heidi Ho!)
