YOUR ARKANSAS WAYS
By Tom Hunnicutt
(Key of E)

1. You can move away - take a new name,
but some things you just can’t change.
Like the old swimming hole where you use to go,
and while away the day.
A cold winter night - a hot summer day,
or just walking on down the lane.
Cause your memories of times are edged in your mind,
just like Your Arkansas Ways.

2. There’s uncles and cousins - sisters and brothers,
and a fat aunt sitting in the hay.
The baying of hounds in the distant hills,
and a rain crow cryin’ for the rain.
A granny you love and a grand pa you miss,
and you will to your dyin’ day.
Cause your memories of times are edged in your mind,
just like Your Arkansas Ways.

chorus

Now Your Arkansas days are Your Arkansas Ways,
and they tell of how you were raised.
To believe in God - respect the flags,
to be honest, faithful and strong.
And these are the things that still linger on,
and their etch in your heart like a song.
They are Your Arkansas Ways.

3. So as you think of those days so long ago,
and the love ones you knew yesterday.
Of the girl that you were - the women you are,
and a love you let slip away.
A boy you knew so long ago,
and you wonder how he is today?
Cause your memories of times are edge in your mind,
just like Your Arkansas Ways.
