Arkansas

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
