Capo 3
Well I Ghide behind my guitar like a Csparrow in the night
GHopin' I might fly away aDnew
Cause they'll Glove you when you're wrong and then Cleave you when you're right
GTell me baby, what's a boy to Ddo
Well I Gcame to town a stranger not Cknowin' how to act
GFigured I'd hang out and just get Dfound
GMade me some new friends, they Cclimbed way on up my back
Been Ggone so long they ain't comin' Ddown
You can kiss thCe sky good morning
You can Gsay your prayers at night
GHide your soul way down in your Cshoes
But it's the Csame old scene
Borrowed Glove and G/F#faded Emdreams
And you Cjust can'tD run from those Arkansas Gblues
Well time is playin' tricks on me, makes me think I'm movin' fast
I don't think I'm movin at all
And every stranger's face I see reminds me of the past
Come on big and leave you feelin' small
So I took to drinkin' liquor on the other side of town
Way up in those woods, beside the moon
Where every graceful dream I had got lost without a sound
Tell you what, I can't leave this place too soon
Chorus 2:
And it don't take no rhyme or reason
It don't make no sense at all
Just one of those things that you don't choose
It's the same old scene
Broken hearts and busted strings
And you just can't run from those Arkansas blues
Well everybody's askin' questions 'out whose side you're on
I don't see how it matters much to me
And all these midnight celebrations that are ended by the dawn
Leave you feelin' low as you can be
So I'm leavin' town this morning, gonna lighten up my load
See if I can't lose what I have found
And it's one drink for the memories and one kiss for the road
Aw, look out, I believe I'm Texas bound
Chorus 3:
California, Oklahoma
Arizona, Tennessee
I've been all around this land to pay my dues
High, low and right behind me
Wherever I go they find me
And I just can't run from those Arkansas blues
