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
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 
sip our wine
A man ought to know when he's got it all holding it down 
up in Arkansas

Coyotes howl in the night the rats ate my food but that's 
alright
Must have needed it more than me ain't no sweat I'll eat 
their cheese
Way back in the woods a hoot-owl calls making his rounds 
up in Arkansas

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

Walmart moves into town progress can't keep it down
Tourists come from miles around I sit on the porch the 
sun goes down
But I live way back from it all keeping it cool up in 
Arkansas in Arkansas
