Lady Arkansas Lyrics by Sawyer Hill

Smoke out the window
Broke down on the west coast
Caught hell on the gold road
Counting the dotted lines
Twenty-six missed calls
It’s raining frogs in Arkansas
And I, oh I miss you tonight

You said “Bring it on down, bring it on down”
I know, I know, I know
You said “When you coming ’round, when you coming ’round?”
I know, I know, you know

In forty days and forty nights
I’ll be on you like a moth on a light
You know that California got nothing on you
Another night all alone
Sitting like a stone
Waiting to roll
Roll on home
To wash out all my blues
Lord knows I’m coming back to you
Lady Arkansas, I’ll be home soon

Dogs barking through the wall
Crickets singing all night long
Me and you stumbling down the hall
Drunk on moonshine
Diamonds in the ground
Are nothing like the one I found
You know that I miss you tonight

You said “Bring it on down, bring it on down”
I know, I know, I know
You said “When you coming ’round, when you coming ’round?”
I know, I know, you know

In forty days and forty nights
I’ll be on you like a moth on a light
You know that California got nothing on you
Another night all alone
Sitting like a stone
Waiting to roll
Roll on home
To wash out all my blues
Lord knows I’m coming back to you
Lady Arkansas, I’ll be home soon

Be home soon
Be home soon
Don’t wait up, don’t wait up, don’t wait up

Yeah, in forty days and forty nights
I’ll be on you like a moth on a light
You know that California got nothing on you
Yeah, yeah
Another night all alone
Sitting like a stone
Waiting to roll
Roll on home
To wash out all my blues
Just like you always do
Lord knows I’m coming back to you
Lady Arkansas, I’ll be home soon
