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
|
