There's a girl in Arkansas
Who's favorite expression is 'I don't know'
Or that's what she says to cover the hurt in her heart
She's a fan of Rock n' Roll
Acapella, man she loves it all
I gotta say I love her too
If ever I could dream again
I'd dream of you
If ever I could fall in love again
It'd be with you
Why Arkansas?
Why'd you call her name?
Why Arkansas?
Why'd she feel the same about you?
How could you take her love for me
And throw it up against the wind?
Why Arkansas, you'd call her name?
I night we used to sing and dance
Man we had this sweet romance
Like something you see in the movies
Yeah, for a while
Then one night I lost my cool
The hands struck twelve and I became a fool
And lost the girl of my dreams
If ever I could dream again
I'd dream of you
If ever I could fall in love again
It'd be with you
Cuz I could laugh and I could cry
I could sing for a while
About what we had to fight through
But when push comes to shove
I'd rather tell the world how much in love
We were
Why Arkansas?
Why'd you call her name?
Why Arkansas?
Why'd she feel the same about you?
How could you take her love for me
And throw it up against the wind?
Why Arkansas, you'd call her name?
