Don Williams - Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma Lyrics
Where the Arkansas River leaves OklahomaIt runs free and rambles, muddy and wideWhere the Arkansas River leaves OklahomaIt's gone forever and never looks backI met her in stillwell she just turned twentyA spirited beauty like I've never knownAnd me a dirt farmer who lived by the riverBut she said she loved me and the free life I ownedWe married in april and lived by the riverWe worked that land from spring Âtil the fallBut I guess when the winter howled at our windowShe couldn't help hearing that wild river callWhere the Arkansas River leaves OklahomaIt runs free and rambles, muddy and wideWhere the Arkansas River leaves OklahomaIt's gone forever and never looks backShe tried to conquer that wild rage within herBut something too strong ran deep in her soulBut I know she loved me, she cried like a babyThat cold winter evening she answered the callWhere the Arkansas River leaves OklahomaIt runs free and rambles, muddy and wideWhere the Arkansas River leaves OklahomaIt's gone forever and never looks back
