"arkansas" lyrics

Got some coffee in Albuquerque, we burned both our mouths
We walked in fifteen minutes before they'd kick us out
You met Sarah's mom and dad, we slept in their guest house
Sherry made us pancakes right before we headed south

Maybe looking back, we lost it all
In Arkansas
God, what I saw

Your soft-top convertible can't keep the downpour out (Mm)
Woke up in the Motel 6 sweating, AC was out (Mm)
Took a detour to Hot Springs to get you your passport (Mm)
Get you to the Philippines, you put it off before

Maybe looking back, we lost it all
In Arkansas
God, what you saw

You said to back away from you
Damn, you were scared of the things you would do
Reached out and handed your keys
Then you recommended that one of us should leave
Stopped me from picking up my bags
So tell me, what's the point of you getting that mad?
Well, you tried, but you never could
You don't think like a good person would

Oh, it's been almost six months, I can't believe you had my touch
Oh, you met me when I was nineteen, oh, how'd you know I'd be naive?
Hey, it's been a while, uh
I was just thinking about you
