I Can See Arkansas
There's a natural wonder between us
But it doesn't seem natural to me
That you could walk away from the love we made
Here in Tennessee
Leave everything that we've worked for
And start another life
I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge
But I don't believe my eyes
I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see why the love we had should end
If it proved how much I love you
I'd swim this river tonight
I'd bet my soul against the undertow
For the chance to hold you tight
But there's more than a river between us
And I can't swim that far
As hard as I try I still can't drown
The memories of where you are
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see why the love we had should end
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see why the love we had should end
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
But it doesn't seem natural to me
That you could walk away from the love we made
Here in Tennessee
Leave everything that we've worked for
And start another life
I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge
But I don't believe my eyes
I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see why the love we had should end
If it proved how much I love you
I'd swim this river tonight
I'd bet my soul against the undertow
For the chance to hold you tight
But there's more than a river between us
And I can't swim that far
As hard as I try I still can't drown
The memories of where you are
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see why the love we had should end
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see why the love we had should end
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
