[Intro]        [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Leave everything that we worked for To start another life I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge But I don’t believe my eyes [Chorus] 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 [Interlude]        [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] But there’s more than a river between us And I can’t swim that far As hard as I try I just can’t drown The memories of where you are [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
