Arkansas

from Arch Stanton by Arch Stanton

lyrics

I’m never going back to Arkansas,
can’t bare to think of what I said to you.
Regret starts sinking in just like a saw,
cutting through the things I can’t undo.

Waking up to electric red alarms
and a cold, cold question mark.
The child sleeps in your strong and loving arms
through the dark.

I pass the sign that reads “Now leaving Hope”
into oblivion down twenty-nine.
You throw my note away, go on and cope.
I'll keep telling myself “It’s fine, fine, fine.”

The guilt weighs thick upon my drowsy mind
as you wake up to your son.
I never could swear a love of any kind
to anyone.
