*************** UP IN ARKANSAS ****************
written by Tony Joe White and Ricky Ray Rector
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Verse 1:
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 2:
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 1:
A man ought to know when he s got it all
Holding it down up in Arkansas
Verse 3:
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 2:
Way back in the woods a hoot-owl calls
Making his rounds up in Arkansas
Verse 4:
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 5:
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 3:
But i live way back from it all
Doing alright up in Arkansas
