I Can See Arkansas

There's a natural wonder between us

But it don't seem natural to me

And you could walk away from the love we made

Here in Tennessee

And leave everything that we worked for

To start a brand new life

I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge

But I don't believe my eyes

Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi

I can see a big river barge heading 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 heading 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

But I just don't see why the love we had should end
