"Edge Of The Ozarks" lyrics

"Edge Of The Ozarks"

On the edge of the Ozarks
Sits a little house, it glows in the dark
A little lady with a big heart
Come in, throw out the clock

Wrapped up in a blindfold
I'd still know right where to go
Rolling hills roller-coaster
Do it again, over and over

We didn't know we had it so easy
Dressing up like the people on the TV
Never hit a thing with the pink BB
Hit a tree on the 90 cc

Too young, too small
Tumbled over the handlebars
Cotton ball and rubbing alcohol
Cleaned up and right back on

If you didn't see it clearly I'd say you ain't even tried
'Cause with my eyes shut tightly it's plain as daylight
The sun is shining honey so much sweeter than it should
No, the trees don't make money but there's treasure in these woods

Summer heat, summer lake
Radio on, ride the wake
Thinking, who am I and why was I made?
Listening to Sweet Baby James

Cottonmouth, cattle fields
Cotton candy and the county fair thrills
Cotton clouds rolling over you and me
Kids cuttin' up in the creek

If you didn't see it clearly I'd say you ain't even tried
'Cause with my eyes shut tightly it's plain as daylight
The sun is shining honey so much sweeter than it should
No, the trees don't make money but there's treasure in these woods

Heart and soul on the upright
Dominoes in the firelight
Sweet tea with no ice
You won't believe the stars tonight

Remember when our boomerang
Got stuck up in a pine tree for days
You can throw me a world away
But I'm caught in the same way

If you've never been to Arkansas
Then, you don't know where the diamonds are
Take a walk in the Ouachita
You're gettin' close if you're gettin' lost

If you didn't see it clearly I'd say you ain't even tried
'Cause with my eyes shut tightly it's plain as daylight
The sun is shining honey so much sweeter than it should
No, the trees don't make money but there's treasure in these woods
No, the trees don't make money but there's treasure in these woods
