Well I hide behind my guitar like a sparrow in the night Hopin’ I might fly away anew Cause they’ll love you when you’re wrong And then leave you when you’re right Tell me baby, what’s a boy to do?
Well I came to town a stranger, not knowin’ how to act Figured I’d hang out and just get found. Made me some new friends They climbed way up on my back Been gone so long they ain’t comin’ down
You can kiss the sky good morning You can say your prayers at night Hide your soul way down in your shoes, But it’s the same old scene Borrowed love and faded dreams And you just can’t hide from those Arkansas Blues.
Well time is playin’ tricks on me Makes me thing I’m movin’ fast I don’t think I’m movin’ at all And every stranger’s face I see reminds me of the past Come on big and leave you feelin’ small
So I took to drinkin’ liquor on the other side of town Way up in those woods beside the moon Where every graceful dream I had got lost without a sound Tell you what, I can’t leave this place too soon.
And it don’t take no rhyme or reason It don’t make no sense at all Just one of those things that you don’t choose It’s the same old thing Broken hearts and busted strings And you just can’t run from those Arkansas Blues.
Everybody’s asking questions about whose side are you on I don’t see how it matters much to me And all these midnight celebrations That are ended by the dawn Leave you feelin’ low as you can be
So I’m leaving town this morning, gonna lighten up my load See if I can’t lose what I have found And it’s one drink for the memories And one kiss for the road Look out, I believe I’m Texas bound California, Oklahoma, Arizona, Tennessee I been all around this land to pay my dues High, low, and right behind me Wherever I go they find me And I just can’t run from the Arkansas Blues.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
