West Arkansas

Under neon lights in a one-corner bar
You looked at me like the world was gonna fall apart
Southern lights shining with a forbidden promise
Where secrets are sacred, and love is an art

In open fields, we’re free to roam
But heavy stares make us run alone
Your hand in mine beneath glassy skies
A love that burns, though we’re not wanted here

Let me take you to the edge of the night
Where the South can’t judge our love in sight
Just you and me under Arkansas skies
Where the wind whispers, but doesn’t know how to lie

We hide in shadows, in pines and smoke
Tasting sin that feels sweeter with every stroke
With a blazing sky and the river’s echo
You’re all I want, and nothing more

They call us crazy, they call us lost
But they don’t know what we have found
A place of our own, where the skies don’t end
And love’s eternal, though no one sees it around

Let me take you to the edge of the night
Where the South can’t judge our love in sight
Just you and me under Arkansas skies
Where the wind whispers, but doesn’t know how to lie

So darling, let’s run until dawn finds us
Let them talk, let the fire bind us
'Cause in a world of walls and heavy eyes
You’re my heaven, my hell, my home, anywhere we lie
