[Verse 1]
She said the mountains will heal me
So I'm packing my things, I’m going back to Arkansas
In the morning I'll be gone
I'll fill the gas tank of that old beat down Dodge
I can’t stay too long in this city
I was born and raised a small town child
Just stuck in the daze of the business
While looking for kisses

[Chorus]
I'm going back to what I know
I'm going back to what I love
I'm going to back to all them friendly faces
Places around the town
Well, I'm headed back down south, uh-huh

[Verse 2]
There's cafes that wanna hear me play
They wanna see this guitar make rainbows on the stage
I'll rise and make the front page
Oh, honey, I'll make a name

[Chorus]
I’m going back to what I know
I’m going back to what I love
I'm going to back to all them friendly faces
Places around the town
Well, I’m headed back down south, uh-huh
[Bridge]
I'ma see my pretty angel
And I swear I'll make her mine
We'll go twirling by the river tonight
Our first kiss on a warm September night

[Chorus]
I’m going back to what I know (Take me back to Arkansas)
I'm going back to what I love (Take me back home)
I'm going to back to all them friendly faces
Places around the town
Well, I'm headed back down south
I'm going back to what I know (Take me back to Arkansas)
I'm going back to what I love (Take me back home)
I'm going to back to all them friendly faces
Places around the town
Well, I'm headed back to Arkansas
