Lonely Avenue - Arkansas lyrics

Well she stands there by the fire She starts to smile as her lip perspires She won't pray there for the souls That she laid beneath the coals She looked at me, thought I could rescue her She kissed my mouth by the White River She needed cash, I got a gun We robbed that bank, we're on the run She's my girl and she's walking tall I'm gonna take her down to Arkansas She's my girl and she's walking tall I'm gonna take her down to Arkansas One sad day, the law finally won Their gonna take her away, I gave them my gun They set her free, and locked me away I hear she found a place down by Greers Ferry Lake She's my girl and she's walking tall They locked me up down in Arkansas She's my girl and she's walking tall They locked me up down in Arkansas I'm just glad you got away Inside these walls, I'll turn 58 They say you played me like a fool They don't know the love I have for you
