I Can See Arkansas

(专辑： Freewheeler - 2004)

There's a natural wonder between us
But it doesn't seem natural to me
That you can walk away from the love we made
Here in Tennessee
Just leave everything that we worked for
To start another life
I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge
But I don't believe my eyes

I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge heading down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas, but I still can't see why the love we had should end

If it proved how much I love you
I'd swim this ol' river tonight
I'd bet my soul against the undertow
For the chance to hold you tight
But there's more than a river between us
And I can't swim that far
And as hard as I try I just can't drown
The memories of where you are

I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge heading down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas, but I still can't see why the love we had should end

I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge heading down to New Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas, but I still can't see why the love we had should end
