Intro: verse 1 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 verse 2 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 verse 3 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
