lyrics

Nature around her
Is dark brown and green
The lights in her eyes
Are angry and wild
The sunset is silver
And open and clean
Soft as a whisper
Her smooth country style

Long and she's tall
All that a man could desire
Descending the mountain
To fend off the wind
A shelter a low-burning fire
She's cool in the fall
And sad in the winter moonlight
But she sings with an Arkansas drawl
On an early spring night

She's always in motion
She never sits still
Her hands are like crests
And her curves are like troughs
On to the ocean
Like she always will
Down at the shoreline
She takes it all off

Long and she's tall
All that a man could desire
Descending the mountain
To bathe in the glow
That's turning the water to fire
She's cool in the fall
And sad in the winter moonlight
But she sings with an Arkansas drawl
On an early spring night

And her hair is split by her shoulder
And the rapids cut on the stone
Rhythmic celebration
In a melancholy tone

Long and she's tall
All that a man could desire
Descending the mountain
Reflecting the stars
In her eyes and becoming inspired
She's cool in the fall
And sad in the winter moonlight
But she sings with an Arkansas drawl
On an early spring night
