[F#m]
[B] [F#]
Got me a rocker without no arm, old wood smoke to keep me warm.
Light firewood out of the rain, I sit and watch the seasons change.
[F#m] [F#]
There's a woman in Little Rock, [F#m] got plenty of mud down in her sock.
[F#] She'd come to see me time to time, we'd sit on the porch and drink our wine.
[B] A man [A] ought to know when he's [F#m] got it all, [B] he's gonna get back [A] up in [F#] Arkansas.
Cows howling tonight, [B] [F#m]
rats ate my food but that's alright.
[F#] They must have needed it more than me, ain't no sweat I'll eat their cheese.
[B] Way back [F#m] in the woods I heard Al [F#] talk, [B] making his life [A] up in [F#m] Arkansas.
[F#] [F#m]
[F#]
Eagle flies wild and [F#m] free,
[F#] catch his face down in my creek.
I watch him rise on the breeze, I don't bother him, he don't bother me.
Wal-Mart moves into town, progress can't keep it down.
Curies just come from miles around, [B] I sit on the porch, the sun [F#] goes down.
But [B] I live [A] way back [F#m] from it all, [B] doing it [F#m] right up in Arkansas.
[F#]
Keeping it cool up in Arkansas.
[Bm] [F#m] [F#]
Now [F#m] I'm living alright, I'm normal.
