Took a Nine Eleven 'bout a hundred
                  A
and seven down a back road
            B
Where the white river runs and
                            E        B
the southern sun makes the kudzu grow
    E
And what I found in the Ozark mountains
        A
I ain't ever seen
    B
It sure does feel like you're sittin' on
                E         B
the top of the world to me

Chorus:
E                                       A
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
        B
Havin' so much fun that it's probably
               E             B
a little bit against the law
         E
All the boys and the girls down
                           A
there sure do know how to have a ball
        B                                       D A
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas

Well, we burned through the one light towns
like a scalded dog
When we lit out of Fayetteville, they were
callin' the hogs
We made a pit stop in Little Rock for some barbecue
And when we hit West Memphis there were
blue lights in our rear view

Chorus - x3
