Waylon Jennings – Up In Arkansas lyrics

Verse 1:
E
Got me a rocker without no arms
Ol' wood stove to keep me warm
My firewood out of the rain
I sit and watch the seasons change

Verse 2:
E
There's a woman in Little Rock
Got plenty of money down in her sock
She come to see me time to time
We sit on the porch and drink our wine

Bridge 1:
A E
A man ought to know when he's got it all
A E
Holding it down up in Arkansas

Verse 3:
E
Coyotes howl in the night
The rats ate my food but that's alright
They must have needed it more than me
Ain't no sweat i'll eat their cheese

Bridge 2:
A E
Way back in the woods a hoot-owl calls
A E
Making his rounds up in Arkansas

Verse 4:
E
The eagle flies wild and free
Catches fish down in my creek
I watch him rise on the breeze
I don't bother him he don't bother me

Verse 5:
Walmart moves into town
Progress can't keep it down
Tourists come from miles around
I sit on the porch,the sun goes down

Bridge 3:
A E
But i live way back from it all
A E
Doing alright up in Arkansas
