Down in Arkansas

When I grow up, I'm gonna tend the bar Washing dishes and promising I'm gonna get real far I'm a star But it doesn't pay the bills, yet When I grow up, I'll say that it's not much but It's honest work I'd rather get my hands dirty Than working for the man And making lots of money When I grow up, I'll find my little corner in a world that seems so small Singing for my supper, standing straight and tall And they'll all say There's something water Down in Arkansas When I grow up, Put me in the trenches I don't give a shit I'll be patiently Waiting for my turn When I grow up, I'm gonna learn the hard stuff The questions of complexity with answers of simplicity I'll take the long way The back roads lead to the same place When I grow up, I will shine brighter Than I ever thought I'd never know Looking out at all my acres Reaping the seeds I've sewn They'll all say There's something in the water Down in Arkansas There's something in the water Down in Arkansas There's something in the water Down in Arkan- There's something in the water Down in Arkansas There's something in the water Down in Arkansas
