Arkansas

(You Run Deep in Me)

Written by Wayland Holyfield


October morning in the Ozark Mountains,

Hills ablazing like that sun in the sky.

I fell in love there and the fire's still burning

A flame that never will die.


Chorus


Oh, I may wander, but when I do

I will never be far from you.

You're in my blood and I know you'll always be.

Arkansas, you run deep in me.


Moonlight dancing on a delta levee,

To a band of frogs and whippoorwill

I lost my heart there one July evening

And it's still there, I can tell.


Repeat Chorus


Magnolia blooming, Mama smiling,

Mallards sailing on a December wind.

God bless the memories I keep recalling

Like an old familiar friend.


Repeat Chorus


And there's a river rambling through the fields and valleys,

Smooth and steady as she makes her way south,

A lot like the people whose name she carries.

She goes strong and she goes proud.


Repeat Chorus
