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
And leave everything that we worked for To start a brand new life I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge But I don´t believe my eyes
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi I can see a big river barge headin´ 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 don´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
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi I can see a big river barge headin´ 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 don´t see Why the love we had should end
