I hear Little Rock calling homesick tears a falling I've been away from Little Rock way too long I'm gonna have a worried mind till I cross the Arkansas line I hear Little Rock calling me back home I remember on that day they said son don't go away Now I wish I would've listened to their call I miss my mom and I miss my dad and the good friends that I had But I miss my hometown sweetheart most of all I hear Little Rock calling... I've been through a thousand towns mostly sleeping on the ground And the thrill of traveling this old world is gone I've been hungry and I've cold I've been troubled in my soul I'm a gonna climb the border next train home I hear Little Rock calling... I hear Little Rock calling... I hear Little Rock calling me back home
