ARKANSAS GRASS

Axiom


Oooh-hooo-oo
Oooh-hooo-oo

If General MacAllister gave up the wars,
And all of the people went back to their chores,
The all the King's horses and all the King's men could go home,

If all of the people were on the same side,
There'd be no need to run and no need to hide,
Then all of us here in our grey tattered coats could go home,

If you'd just listen sir once again,
To the reasons of one of your men,
You could make all these things come to pass,
Where I could lay on Arkansas grass,
Home, Home, goin' alone to the sound of the military brass
Home, home, lovin' alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
Once again-

Oooh-hooo-oo
Oooh-hooo-oo

So gaily we marched with the Grey and Red,
To lick 'em first time like the good General said,
With nary a thought that so very few would go home,

If it weren't so wrong for a soldier like me,
To throw down his gun, to run to be free,
Then all of us here with the fear in our eyes could go home,

If you'd just listen sir once again,
To the reasons of one of your men,
You could make all these things come to pass,
Where I could lay on Arkansas grass,
Home, Home, goin' alone to the sound of the military brass
Home, home, lovin' alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
Once again-

Layin' on Arkansas grass (x8)
Home, home, lovin' alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
