Don Williams - Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma lyrics
[Don Williams - Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma lyrics]
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back
I met her in Stillwell
She just turned twenty
A spirited beauty like I've never known
And me a dirt farmer who lived by the river
But she said she loved me and
The free life I owned
We married in April and lived by the river
We worked that land from
Spring 'til the fall
But I guess when the winter
Howled at our window
She couldn't help hearing that
Wild river call
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back
She tried to conquer that
Wild rage within her
But something too strong ran deep in her soul
But I know she loved me
She cried like a baby
That cold winter evening she
Answered the call
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back
I met her in Stillwell
She just turned twenty
A spirited beauty like I've never known
And me a dirt farmer who lived by the river
But she said she loved me and
The free life I owned
We married in April and lived by the river
We worked that land from
Spring 'til the fall
But I guess when the winter
Howled at our window
She couldn't help hearing that
Wild river call
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back
She tried to conquer that
Wild rage within her
But something too strong ran deep in her soul
But I know she loved me
She cried like a baby
That cold winter evening she
Answered the call
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back
