Up In Arkansas

Waylon Jennings

Verse 1:
E
Got me a rocker without no armsOl' wood stove to keep me warmMy firewood out of the rainI sit and watch the seasons changeVerse 2:
E
There's a woman in Little RockGot plenty of money down in her sockShe come to see me time to timeWe sit on the porch and drink our wineBridge 1:
A E
A man ought to know when he's got it all
A E
Holding it down up in ArkansasVerse 3:
E
Coyotes howl in the nightThe rats ate my food but that's alrightThey must have needed it more than meAin't no sweat i'll eat their cheeseBridge 2:
A E
Way back in the woods a hoot-owl calls
A E
Making his rounds up in ArkansasVerse 4:
E
The eagle flies wild and freeCatches fish down in my creekI watch him rise on the breezeI don't bother him he don't bother meVerse 5:Walmart moves into townProgress can't keep it downTourists come from miles aroundI sit on the porch,the sun goes downBridge 3:
A E
But i live way back from it all
A E
Doing alright up in Arkansas
