[Intro]
Rolling hills, river signs, Arkansas in my mind
Where the sky meets the land, and the good times are grand
Bluegrass strings and a quiet lullaby
This is my home, where my heart will never stray
[Verse 1]
Stopped along the riverbank, fishing in the dawn
Sweet tea on the porch, singing that old country song
Rocky mountains in the distance, fields of green below
Arkansas, my cradle, it’s the place I love to go
[Pre-Chorus]
From Little Rock to Hot Springs, every mile has a story
Tales of my kinfolk, old and full of glory
Holding tight to roots that run deep in the ground
Arkansas’s song, a sweet, enduring sound
[Chorus]
Oh Arkansas, my homeland, where my heart belongs
Guarded by the mighty rivers, sung by joyful songs
Mountain air and southern charm, I wear it like a crown
Oh Arkansas, you’re my home, and I’ll never leave you now
[Verse 2]
Candles flicker in the evening, porch swings keep the beat
Sweet magnolia scent fills the air when summer’s heat
Folk wrestling their worries in the shade of the trees
A simple kind of paradise, that’s Arkansas for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Through old town streets and barbershops, I find my peace
In every friendly smile, in the gentle breeze
Bound by traditions that time cannot erase
Arkansas’s heart, my sacred place
[Chorus]
Oh Arkansas, my homeland, where my heart belongs
Guarded by the mighty rivers, sung by joyful songs
Mountain air and southern charm, I wear it like a crown
Oh Arkansas, you’re my home, and I’ll never leave you now
[Bridge]
From the Ozarks to the Delta, a patchwork quilt of dreams
Where the past and future blend in flowing streams
A land of resilience, of hope and grace
Arkansas’s spirit, time cannot replace
[Outro]
So I’ll sing this long song about the place I cherish most
Arkansas, my home, my coast, my ghost
With every sunrise and sunset’s glow
Forever in my heart, I’ll carry your soul
[End]
