Buddy Jewell - Dyess Arkansas Lyrics

Would you believe this blacktop highway

Used to be a one-lane gravel road?

Back when johnny cash was just somebody

Daddy went to school with years ago

When the cottonwoods reached to the sky

An' honeysuckle vine grew all around

My eyes well up with memories

Every time i think about this little ol' town

'cause i know there's bigger cities

Full of all the sights and sounds

Where people live in fear an' lock their doors

Long before the sun goes down

The drive-in picture show's been closed for years

No superstores or midi-malls

But everyday i thank the lord he made dyess arkansas

I used to laugh at all the stories

Daddy'd tell me 'bout the mischief he'd get in

Dream of penny-candy an' nickel soda-pops

Lord what a dollar'd buy back then

When livin' life was picture perfect

Like a norman rockwell paintin' of the south

Lord i'd give almost anything

To hear my daddy tell the stories now

He'd say "i know there's bigger cities

Full of all the sights and sounds

Where people live in fear an' lock their doors

Long before the sun goes down

The drive-in picture show's been closed for years

No superstores or midi-malls

Still everyday i thank the lord he made dyess arkansas"

Yes i know there's bigger cities

But there ain't no better town

Folks here don't live in fear an' lock their doors

Long before the sun goes down

The population sign ain't changed in years

I guess it's destined to be small

But everyday i thank the lord he made dyess arkansas

Yeah everyday i thank the lord he made dyess arkansas
