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 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
