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 everythin'
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
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 goin' 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 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
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 goin' down again
Oh I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see
why the love we
had should end
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 goin' 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
