Riding across the horizon
As the sun comes out
To fill the Texas sky
And illuminate our minds
And bring them to lands
They don't often go,
Across the massive sky
To a place we now call home,
Through the enchanted grass
Of that old Oklahoma
That I played in some years past
And danced through the mist
Like a native indian
Who traveled off to Arkansas-
Here we come, sweet Arkansas,
Where the last of my childhood lay
In the backyard in a grave.
And all that was left of me
Settled where life begins, in Tennessee.
The edge of the river ended our roam,
And end, for now, in a place called home.
