I Can See Arkansas Lyrics - Anne Murray

There's a natural wonder between us 

But it doesn't seem natural to me 

That you can walk away from the love we made 

Here in Tennessee 

And leave everything that we worked for 

To start a brand new life 

I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge 

But I don't believe my eyes 

Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi 

I can see a big river barge headin' down to new Orleans 

I can see the cotton fields on the other side 

And the sun going down again

Oh, I can see Arkansas 

But I still don't see 

Why the love we had should end 

If it proved how much I love you 

I'd swim this ol' river tonight 

I'd bet my soul against the undertow 

For the chance to hold you tight 

But there's more than a river between us 

And I can't swim that far 

And as hard as I try I just can't drown 

The memories of where you are 

Photos 

Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi 

I can see a big river barge headin' down to new Orleans 

I can see the cotton fields on the other side 

And the sun going down again 

Oh, I can see Arkansas 

But I still don't see 

Why the love we had should end
