There's a natural
wonder between us
But it doesn't
seem natural
to me
That you could
walk away from
the love we made
here in Tennessee
Leave everything that
we've worked for
and 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
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 loved you
I'd swim this
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
As hard as I try
I still can't drown
the memories of
where you are
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
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
Oh I can
see Arkansas
But I still don't see
why the love
we had should end
