One Man's Arkansas

歌詞

I know this view so well, he said The field, that line of trees The way the sun burns orange-red On days as clear as these So close you'd swear it might ignite That oak there on the hill And even though it never does Someday, I know it will Each man keeping to himself Just what he thought he saw They sat in silence looking out At one man's Arkansas The stranger shifted in his chair And cleared his throat to speak "I think our offer's more than fair Shall I call this time next week?" Just then, as if they'd heard enough Or as if they'd heard a gun A flock of sparrows rose and flew Away into the sun (Chorus) There are houses in the valley now And newly planted trees Sod green lawns and swimming pools Children in the streets Zero down was just the trick To fill the place right up And the backend keeps'em on the farm Right out to Kingdom Come (Chorus)
