Up In Arkansas — Waylon Jennings

Verse

Got me a rocker without no arms

Ol' wood stove to keep me warm

My firewood out of the rain

I sit and watch the seasons change

Verse

There's a woman in Little Rock

Got plenty of money down in her sock

She come to see me time to time

We sit on the porch and drink our wine

Bridge

A man ought to know when he's got it all Holding it down up in Arkansas

Verse

Coyotes howl in the night

The rats ate my food but that's alright

They must have needed it more than me

Ain't no sweat i'll eat their cheese

Bridge

Way back in the woods a hoot-owl calls Making his rounds up in Arkansas

Verse

The eagle flies wild and free

Catches fish down in my creek

I watch him rise on the breeze

I don't bother him he don't bother me

Verse

Walmart moves into town

Progress can't keep it down

Tourists come from miles around

I sit on the porch,the sun goes down

Bridge

But i live way back from it all Doing alright up in Arkansas
