Arkansas Revisited
Iâm going back to Arkansasâ¦.
Gotâta kill my Maw and Pawâ¦
Iâm goneâna kill my Mom and Dadâ¦
Because they made my life so sadâ¦
I run so fast all night and dayâ¦
They haunt my soul in evil waysâ¦
I donât care what the law might doâ¦
Hope your folks are good to youâ¦
I stole my neighborâs pickup truckâ¦
And took his daughter for good luckâ¦
I spend all my dough on a gunâ¦
Liquored up to have some funâ¦
I drink all night and I feel real fineâ¦
Cause I rollâin past that old state lineâ¦
Driveâin round all night and dayâ¦
Just to show hey on his wayâ¦
I pull on down the streets of townâ¦
âd love to burn the er downâ¦
And down the road all the wayâ¦
Drove right past my brother Heyâ¦
Iâm running up the law at nightâ¦
They can see me thereâs no lightâ¦
Jamb in the door and then I sayâ¦
Brace yourself for judgment dayâ¦
Going back to Arkansasâ¦
Buryâin my Maw and Pawâ¦
And then Iâm goâin far awayâ¦
For where Iâm going I wonât sayâ¦
Cause I donât know just where Iâll runâ¦
I guess Iâll follow hellâs sonâ¦
Maybe north of Mexicoâ¦
For I ainât sayâin where Iâll goâ¦
I had to kill my Mow and Dadâ¦
Because they beat me up real badâ¦
My Daddy beat me every dayâ¦
For what I done he wouldânt sayâ¦
Leather strap across my backâ¦
Watch my eyes all rollâin backâ¦
(This all the same verse as the other page)
And so I killed my Maw and Pawâ¦
I killed them both in Arkansasâ¦
âYou goneâ get so damn madeâ¦
Because I killed my Maw and Dadâ¦
And now Iâm running night and dayâ¦
For where Iâm going I wonât sayâ¦
Just me and the girl and the stolen truckâ¦
Ahh wee get umm so tehh mehh whahhhâ¦.
