Lyrics

I only get to see her about once in a month
But don't think for a minute that those pretty eyes ever drift far from my mind
At the hint of her touch I fee a sudden rush
My brain seizes up so I'm drinking from the cup to try to loosen up
When she lays down my heads spinning round
My heart begins to pound but everyone's around, wish we could be alone
And I know that we've both got busy lives
And there spread apart by miles but it's worth the drive just to see her smile

I was thinking about taking a chance steeping out on that branch lowering my defense
Telling you just how beautiful I think you are
I've admired you from afar then I got to know the sweet person that you are
And I'll hold you in my dreams until the next time

You're my sweet Arkansas flower
You're my sweet Arkansas flower

She's as wild and as pretty as that honey suckle vine
But I'm not the jealous type so don't think that I mind them boys in town
And that wild mountain flowers roots grow deep into the rock
She might wilt if I cut em so I'm careful where I walk
So I'm counting off the days till I'm seeing her again
That soft auburn hair the sent of her skin
And if she'd have me I would offer her my hand
And I hope she'd understand that I'm living without a plan cause I'm a traveling man


You're my sweet Arkansas flower
You're my sweet Arkansas flower
You're my sweet Arkansas flower
You're my sweet Arkansas flower

So if you could spare the time
I would take you out onto the town
I'd be proud to have you by my side
Why would I ever want anybody else

My sweet Arkansas flower
My sweet Arkansas flower
