arkansas Lyrics by GAYLE
Got some coffee in Albuquerque
We burned both our mouths
We walked in fifteen minutes
Before they kicked us out
You met Sarah’s mom and dad
We slept in their guest house
Sherry made us pancakes right
Before we headed south
Maybe looking back, we lost it all
In Arkansas
God, what I saw, LOL
Your soft-top convertible
Can’t keep the downpour out
Woke up in a Motel 6
Sweating, AC was out
Took a detour to Hot Springs
To get you your passport
Get you to the Philippines
You put it off before
Maybe looking back, we lost it all
In Arkansas
God, what you saw, LOL
You said to back away from you
Damn, you were scared of the things you would do
Reached out and handed your keys
Then you recommended that one of us should leave
Stopped me from pickin’ up my bags
So tell me, what’s the point of you gettin’ that mad?
Well, you tried, but you never could
You don’t think like a good person would
Oh, it’s been almost six months, I can’t believe you had my touch
Oh, you met me when I was nineteen, oh, how’d you know I’d be naive?
Hey, it’s been a while, uh
I was thinking about you
