Chris Stapleton - Arkansas Lyrics

Arkansas Lyrics by Chris Stapleton

Took a Nine Eleven 'bout a hundred and seven down a back road
Where the white river runs and the southern sun makes the kudzu grow
And what I found in the Ozark mountains I ain't ever seen
It sure does feel like you're sittin' on the top of the world to me

[Chorus]
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas

[Verse 2]
Well, we burned through the one light towns likе a scalded dog
When we lit out of Fayеtteville, they were callin' the hogs
We made a pit stop in Little Rock for some barbecue
And when we hit West Memphis there were blue lights in our rear view

[Chorus]
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas

I moved here 11 years ago when I took a job at the university of the Ozarks. Wish I moved here 30 years ago. I am SO GLAD my daughter grew up here instead of the West or east coast where I worked and lived. Nicest people in the world. And the beauty of the Ozarks is breathtaking

Listening from Shirley on the banks of the beautiful Greers Ferry Lake!!! LOVE THIS SONG

If you have never been to or seen the upper part of the White River in North Central Arkansas, you are missing out. I live on the White River in Calico Rock, AR and I just tell everybody come on and see Gods country. Come on catch you a mess of trout, there's Rainbows, German Browns and it is seriously heaven on earth! Oh, we do love to call our Hogs!

[briangray]

Gotta love Chris, the Hogs and Coach "turn that damn jukebox up!"

I don't know much modern country, but Chris Stapleton did us a solid! Between this and the Hogs upsetting Mizzou yesterday, it's a good day to be an Arkansan. WPS!
