plant me there
Verse 1
I came to be, a shame to me, 'cross the M-D lineThe second son of Friday's son, a second kindLoved the hollars, had no dollars, never had no careJust a youngin, but a fun one, wild as hobo hair
Bridge
Missouri, you're the place that saw meTake a breath I never took beforeBut I never learned to see you fondlyNever need to return no more
Chorus
Arkansas you're my one true heavenPlant me there when my bill is dueDeep in the Ozarks by the Buffalo RiverHauntin all the hills where my heart beats true
Verse 2
Left my home, all alone, to see the bigger worldSecond time, less aligned, I come unfurledUniform's what I worn, a real Army manMet the Drills, ran the hills, hard as Hammerhand
Bridge
Kentucky I learned to be a man thereWith Agony, Misery and HeartbreakBut it never broke the bronc from buckingNever made me myself forsake
Chorus
Arkansas you're my one true heavenPlant me there when my bill is dueDeep in the Ozarks by the Buffalo RiverHumming through the hills where my heart beats true
Verse 3
Crossed the seas, saw palm trees, saw the camel's eyeIEDs, RPG's, and drinkin chaiNo big deal, it's a wheel, and it was my turnBut I'll bet I won't forget, how the babies burned
Bridge
Rusafa, up there by Sadr CityYou're as close to hell as I wish to seeBut I never felt more of the feel of livingNever got nearer to the truth of me
Chorus
Arkansas you're my one true heavenPlant me there when my bill is dueDeep in the Ozarks by the Buffalo RiverHaunting all the hills where my heart beats true
Chorus
Arkansas you're the place that made mePlant me there when my deal is doneI'll be drifting from Big Bluff out to HawksbillHaunting all the hills til the Savior comes Til the SaviorWhere my heart beats true
