Except the houses that need repairing
Arkansas, land of opportunity
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Lakes and rivers and Backwood trees
Arkansas, land of opportunity
Prettiest place I ever saw
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas
Arkansas, land of opportunity
Was back home in Arkansas
And they cover every mile of
Oh, how I wanna go once more to
Dirt roads that lead nowhere
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Oh, how I hated to say goodbye to
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Working Park County, sandy lawn
And front porch people wearing a smile
All those boyhood memories
Arkansas, land of opportunity
Mama callin' me from the door
Gentle mountains, it reached to the sky
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas
Prettiest place I ever saw
I can see my Dad back home
