There's a place I'm longing to be
And it's calling daily to me
I'll be there before the day breaks
If I hurry
There's a girl who's wearing my ring
And I'm missing everything
Back in Arkansas
Arkansas
Arkansas
Take a turn to the right
Talk the welcoming light
Burn a lonely burn bright
I'll be with her tonight
Buy a ticket one way
Should a boy be afraid
Gone yesterday
Please don't stop me
I want to go home
With my head in Arkansas rain
See my good companions again
Been away so long
I'm sure they sometimes worry
Where my woman's waiting for me
Oh, I wish that I
Could be
Back in Arkansas
Arkansas
Arkansas
Take a turn to the right
Talk the welcoming light
Burn a lonely burn bright
I'll be with her tonight
Buy a ticket one way
Should a boy be afraid
Gone yesterday
Please don't stop me
I want to go home
Take a turn to the right
Talk the welcoming light
Burn a lonely burn bright
I'll be with her tonight
Buy a ticket one way
Should a boy be afraid
Gone yesterday
Please don't stop me
I want to go home
Take a turn to the right
Talk the welcoming light
Burn a lonely burn bright
I'll be with her tonight
I should have gone yesterday.
Please don't stop me.
I want to go home.
Take a turn to the right.
All the way from the light.
Burn it lonely, burn rough.
I'll be with you tonight.
Buy a ticket one way.
