Arkansas Farmboy Lyrics - Glen Campbell

The seventh son born to an Arkansas farmer 

And a hard workin' mother of twelve 

Who never could find any time or a dollar 

That she could just spend on herself 

I remember things now, that my daddy once told me 

The old man grew wiser with time 

And a life on the farm, that in a boy's view was awful 

Has changed in these same older eyes 

Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie 

Where cotton and corn used to grow 

And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy 

Who'd give all he owns just to go 

[Verse 2[ 

I recall how grandaddy held me and taught me 

The melody to "In The Pines" 

On a five-dollar guitar that led to a fortune 

I'd trade just to go back in time

Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie 

Where cotton and corn used to grow 

And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy 

Who'd give all he owns just to go 

Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie 

Where cotton and corn used to grow 

And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy 

Who'd give all he owns just to go
