There is more to Arkansas than it's rivers, lakes and streams.
People there have made it great with their hopes and dreams.
It is a humpty dumpty, hilly  place with roller coaster roads.
It is black bears, turkey shoots and places named for toads.

Folks here don't have much money, but they have lots of fun.
A man finds contentment with a pick-up, coon dog and a gun.
It is not all rural cabins and wood shanties on top of the hill.
It's not necessary cow paddies or making moonshine in a still.

It is said  that they grow a little hemp high up here in the Ozark.
But where else could you find some yellow diamonds in a park.
So Arkansas weather is often quirky and the winters are a pain.
When God was handing out ticks and bugs it got in line again.

The yellow clover in the Spring time is always so very pretty.
But if you should get a little bored , you can head into the city.
The night sky above is jet black with stars that seem to gleam.
They're like fairy diamonds in the sky and how close they seem.

I would guess there is no other place that I would rather be.
For Arkansas has become the home to lots of folks like me.
