I woke up from a dream, just the other day
Dreamin' bout a part of me that's so far away
My sweet home a waitin' for me
Waitin' with a smile, it's just right down the
interstate 1800 miles
Oooh Arkansas you know I'm not the only one
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son
Oooh Arkansas You know I'm not the only one
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son
Riff
Now California entices me and I'm her biggest fan
But Arkansas knows me like the back of her hand
When I get weary about to fall right where I stand
Well I just buy a ticket Lord to the promise land
Oooh Arkansas you know I'm not the only one
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son
Oooh Arkansas You know I'm not the only one
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son
Riff
From Hope to Eldarado, West Memphis to Conway
Such a beautiful vision every night I pray
To her sweet spirit follows me, follows me everywhere
And when I need her Lord she'll always be there
Oooh Arkansas you know I'm not the only one
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son
Oooh Arkansas You know I'm not the only one
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son
